The Woodpecker On My Chimney Cap
Nadyenka Yapto
April 23, 2026

He could be pecking on wood
The branches of a tree
But he keeps pecking right near me
He could be pestering in the hood
Pecking close to the buzzing bees
But he keeps pecking right near me
So I came outside, no near my good
Looking at the bird chirping gradingly
Why'd he peck his beak right near me?
Too near, I suppose, nearest a bird ever couldĀ
Be right next to the girl, pondering short sightedly
Why must he peck right near me?
He met she, she who took forever as gloom
She who I realized took place for me
He chose She
He, he who kept pecking right near me
