EARTH-BREATHS by WINIFRED VIRGINIA JACKSON

Poem Explanation

First Line: I CAN FORGET THE NIGHT
Last Line: IN THE YELLOWBIRD'S THROAT!
I can forget the night
And the day, --
And daises that grew
By the Appian Way.

But, no, not this . . . @3not this@1 . . .
One clear note
That the white cat killed
In the yellowbird's throat!
