Short Sharp Venomous Teeth

Discordant confusion
offers infusions
of contusion 
of obtuse bruises
of concave cavities

depraved if you
look too hardly
rather than regarding
the tearing sound

evidence that 
something more robust
than a zipper
is about to be torn

in other birds
a revelation hawk
a dawn-stone robin
a cantankerous oriole

each flock too prepared
to murder the things
that must be called food
pre- and post-digestion.
