Mango hats stood out from the rest
By Shira Dentz
Canary-yellow dice
aren’t what you think,
seller said in their shop
where they sold
all things
canary—
whistles,
sweets, frills, perfumes, with hints
of cherry chance,
a throw of canary.
Much hinges
on
canary,
Canary said
in
their
shop where they sold sunny
vanes
on canary die.
Forgive me for
showing
myself a composed canary, live
or not.
