Woodpecker

A woodpecker made himself
at home last night. He found
that spot right at the hairline,
next to the part, so as to hide
his persistent handiwork.

Tenderness remains
even if I don’t remember
the transgressions
of my feathered friend. Had I been
cognizant of his visit, he would
have found an early grave.
