Empty Skull

Unfettered wingshapes of
escaped parrots,
Back of a cat
sleeping inside-out;
sore paws
Sratched off head

Who grew a lawn of grass
from grass in the sand?
Who grew grass from sand
in the sand?
Whose words are these?

Sitting in the back while
Test-mother has a step-drive;
Shiny new wheels pull up the hill

Ten of those parrots now
Squadron Leader
Wingbeating morse-code to each other
Coordinates
Targets

A rump of feathers
heaped into two piles
(Bill had his meal(s))
Savage yellow fangs
Wet plum nose

Cerberus, from the dog house
races to prevent intruders from
entering the dog house
Whose words are these?
