Murderer's Row: Birth to Death

Gravestone marked by murderer's row

So sad the men walk down

Awaiting the cuckoo bird's egg

to hatch within that hickory straw they call home

BREAK!

A crack spreads its diseases

All the birdwatchers who gather are shocked

Yet no more than those breaking free

A gasp as the shell cracks further

No more will the baby cuckoo have to endure isolation
