listening to cuckoos

robert adamson

two unchanging notes; to us, words -- always those high

elongated notes. red-eyed koels with feathered earmuffs,

downward-ending notes that pour through a falling of night

coming over the distances, words that don't change.

the two notes remain, a split phrase, two words

meaning, not exactly a self -- not quite, the first day of spring.

the moment of ¹, candour becomes

the piercing, whistled ². ³ the dark green

of ⁴, the storm birds call, two notes, two words,

and cackle in the broken-egged dawn, in the echoing light.
