the double with feathers

feathers are not troubled
they weather wind elegantly insensately

they render waterfowl hydrodynamic
they spread and advertise desirability

 

quills have held the written word

down has comforted the human head

primaries have adorned headdresses
and sculpted convection

 

there would be no hope in a featherless world
and if that reminds you of something
i hope you will double of joy
featheringly
