Analysis of Feathered Fancy
Brady Bowen 1973 (Louisiana)
Let’s fly now
let’s take wing
over air
and low things
Tarry not
let’s away
quickly now
breathe sun’s rays
Feel the wind
bracing cold
Up up up
ere we’re old
Knifing through
cotton white
other worlds
brilliant-bright
Hand in hand
spiral down
to the eerie
we have found
There to drink
our fill of
each other
quiet love
