		<description><![CDATA[Three beaks ascend at my mimicry squawk, open like scissors to paper-crisp air. Later we find the mother looking serene sheltering her trio. I tell my children to look but do not touch. The father frequents the tree above my daughter’s swing. I admire the color this blue jay brings to a green, flowerless summer, to several weeks of rain, clean his shit off the plastic seat and nylon straps. At the park, perched on a bench, a talon-nosed man watches my children play. They dig out a nest in the sand box, bury their pick-up trucks in order to rescue them. I watch them, ready. I am a hawk if he so much as touches the air. Melissa Guillet’s work has appeared in Appleseeds, Ballard Street, Bloodroot, Caduceus, The Cherry Blossom Review, GBSPA’s City Lights, Cyclamen &#38; Sword, Dos Passos Review, Fearless Books, Imitation Fruit (winning poem), Lalitamba, Language and Culture, Lavanderia, Look! Up in the Sky!, New Muse, Nth Position, Public Republic, Sangam, Scrivener’s Pen, Seven Circle Press, Women. Period., and several chapbooks.]]></description>
