Saw sapsucker this PM -
dirty-breasted, herring-backed,
urine-yellow afterparts -
climb the oak in staggered rushes
like a wino red of head
vainly seeking dregs of muscatel
in discarded bottles.
I'm missing I saw a...or even Saw a... I think it would make more sense and improve the meter ans sonics, I can't reaaly see the gain in leaving them out, to imply a saw? Maybe. I also don't understand vainly, he's pretty successful, and if there are dregs to be had the wino would be too. Fun read, just picking nits like ants. Smile

Oh, fun title, too.
