to twist one's neck

two versions, don't know which i prefer!
-------------------------------------------------------
[to twist one's neck]

how would it to be
a feral pigeon
with carrot red feet and
aquamarine collar
a nerolac advert
in constant motion?

to swoop and circle
through city days
to twist one's neck
in unlikely ways?

how would it to be
a pariah kite
with raptor claws
and raptor beak
and a scavenger
appetitie?

to swoop and circle
through city days
to twist one's neck
in unlikely ways?

how would it to be
a feral pigeon
with carrot feet
and aqua ruff and
doubtful love of
sanitation?

to swoop and circle
through city days
to twist one's neck
in unlikely ways?

with raptor claws
and raptor beak
and a scavenger
in appetitie?

to swoop and circle
through city days
