RED
The violet red car
raced through the evening '
unaware
a dull red truck
brakes cherry red
careened
toward the flashing stoplight
at 22nd and Pine on the horizon
the sky was aflame
bright neon signs
lit up the street ahead
in an instant
dress, sweater, stockings
darkened j
a red shoe came to rest .
with potatoes, apples
split tomatoes
the copper hair dampened
checkered tablecloth
birthday card in red envelope
lay among the splintered steel
the red towels - gift wrapped
slid among the rose bushes

I soar the peaks, I nest in the' firs
my feathers breath, as T explore earth
furnish me liberty, share the space
for I was first by name,by face
endangered by man, saved before extinct
to entertain the eye, only he can defeat
preserved for human, who once did shoo
how awared me protection, how spare me dew
I am high, am I free
why doth man share
natures land with thee
Strength I achieve, yet contained by he
who permits my life, controls my keep
I am bom an eagle, lone and strong
brown and white, American by law
heretofore boundless, doth bounty imperil me
beauty of a poll, a symbol to he
once bold I lived to roam the land of the free
once whole I flew, until selfish man discovered me
