Description Slipping soundly between leaves, fast flowing,
Sieved by steel limbs, wire vines
Cutting and slicing, flipping,
Caught suddenly and cracked in two
Upon a branch.
A moment. Two. Longer. And
Then comes the tumbling, in
Feather eruptions,
Off and back and over,
Round and spun, spun oddly from
Bark glances and thuds, joining broken-string
Jerking with gun-cracks and reports, before
Down,
           down,
                      down through the canopy,
Describing an arc of silver,
Smooth as
Songs
           And silk
                         And egg yolk,
Whistling, and-



blat! says the undergrowth.
The punished earth oozes.

c00lies, that's nicely written!

Like the change in layout when you write:
'Down,
down,
down through the canopy'

Amazing....
