Never, for they are not physicians. Can you hear their sighs Which flutter softly in the wind? Caught up in the atmosphere, softly tinkling their sad song? “Help us, lest we die,” So sayeth the palms. “Hear our plea,” Is their refrain. “Come to our aid,” Whisper the dying. “Heal us!” Moumnfully sighed.

It took wing at the slightest noises, Though it could be approached by someone praying. We have no recordings of it, though of course In the basement of the museum, we have some stuffed Moth-eaten specimens -the Lesser Ruffled this And the Yellow Spotted that- filed in narrow drawers. But its song is lost. If it was related to A species of Quiet, or of another feather. No researcher can know. Not even whether A breeding pair still nests deep in the bayou, Where legend has it some once common bird Decades ago was first not seen, not heard. 6. Refer to “Extinction of Silence".
