to have a certain operation, and as
I went under, found
myself assailed by a flock
of hostile pigeons, by a whole
parliament of fowls, cooing
hysterically â blackbirds
and ospreys
and screaming gulls. How daft
are you! mocked
a jackdaw, jabbing
its beak at my groin. Vile droppings
filled my mouth
and throat, while swallows and wrens
and magpies settled
on my midriff ⦠aghast, barely
able to breathe, I stretched
forth a hand and seized
a cormorantâs quill
that I plunged
deep into the breast
of a hapless nightingale, all
the while chanting aloud the poor
birdâs ode; which, to my surprise, worked.
