COCKSCOMB



Magpietales #80

Their feathers shorn
he leaves the shop
Cockscomb bright.

The night is young
Rain washed clean.
A different shearing

Awaits. The
 rubber shod figure
will soon crow.

What would he then be shearing? Not sheep would it? Love the staccato bursts of words in the verse.

The rain surely knows how to wash away a lot of things.
