the fool had heard a nightingale
and so he tried to salt its tail
and when he did the bird grew quiet
and the fool's heart began to riot
fluttering around his rib cage
in a panic beyond what his fool's mind could gauge
and leaving the fool the nightingale
took song and full flight after brushing its tail
