(Poem) Woodpecker by Andrea Nicki

Not a bird liked by everyone

a “beautiful swan” gliding soundlessly

through a pond in a restful park

inspiring sketches and paintings

or a fairy-like hummingbird

gifted with ornate feeders

in backyard gardens

 

Pecking noisily through bark

it doesn’t care if others are offended

the City Park Board

will continue drilling

until it penetrates the last layer

finds a home for its young

inspiring deep thinkers to keep

chipping away at falsehoods

smokescreens, failing frameworks

ignoring opposition

until they arrive at hospitable structures

for raising humans
