a changeup  still lousy

                                 of all the bodies hes pickedup this was the first in a long long time

a young woudnt get older acorn woodpecker 

picking it up off the street their head lolledrolled  neck snapped

                                                                     he might have made an exceptionnot  taken umbrage of the car driver though  he had ample a glut of umbrage  it dribbling a bit away  helped

squatting tenderlyscooped them up risked jeopardy as cars went through this twentyfivemiles per hour residential street as if it were a thoroughfare shadowing an interstate

                                                                           Comon little one

he placed them in soft dirt under dense shrubs at the edge of the rotting road

                                                                                   no words

other than Hope you had time to enjoy life

no idea how long theyd been from cracked eggshell to cracked skullbroken neck

stoodup

          umbrage drizzling  honeylike saplike from a wounded hive a wounded tree

    black humour reared

without it hed be lost

                         Well little one  probably clobbered by a Skylark
