Pale Male & Lola

Pornography in the Park

by Mary Orovan

Public mating,

      out in the open,

   Grey owl has cozied

with Red owl 

     in hollow hole

of the old Pin oak,                                    

     fluffing each other's cheeks,

 waiting for the moon.

    

And Pale Male and Lola,

    our City hawks, atop the Carlyle Hotel,   

                     aerobatic display,

always Valentine's day.

Indigo go go

   puffed puffed pigeons

followingcirclingfollowing,

   woo.     Bill and … .

   Egregious acts

of ubiquitous birds

        oh, baby, all over the City.         

              Edgy music in the Ramble

    wild timbres and rhythms

bird calls                       

                                        bird calls

   birds answering

                           love on the fly everywhere.

Praise for Mary Orovan's "Green Rain":

We really enjoy your use of imagery, descriptive language and insight.

  

—Pat Swenson, Editor Emeritus,

Avocet, A Journal of Nature Poems

Besides being wonderful poems they have an undercurrent, sometimes a flood-tide of sensuality, Eros and Thanatos, which gives the book a life above and beyond the beautiful words.

—George Spencer, Co-host of ABC No Rio
