Lois
James Corsale 1965 (Pittsburgh)
Lois
“How sweet it would be
To be a Martin with thee
Our flight would be true
‘Cross the Gulf so blue
And we perch on a branch
In a jungle or a ranch
I tweet to you
You chirp back coo coo
Until we return North
Creating a brood
Our flight over reservoirs
To catch our food
And return over and over
Brood after brood
My dowery to you
Alas, only my truest Love”
James Corsale
