Lore (midrib nidifying)
1
Airway edifice. Feather-compound composite. The leaf-shaped epiglottis (petiolated, parallel-veined) is the front door (on singing hinges) to a nest of deciduous feathers.
Tracheally vestibular; the esophageal slide down the bannister.
2
Histaminic prehistory. The octave-coupling left lung hisses an oxygen-fraught aria. Nest-building a pigeon-toed deliberation between interpleural histrionics and cardiac placidity (predictably).
3
Ridiculously nidicolous. The nest pecking-order a lobar-duet on the lowest scale: Niche-bullying. Gular-fluttering foundation.
When the bough breaks the bird-cradle is an airfoil foiled by air. Leaf-defeated bronchiole tree. Arpeggio of shallow breathing. Broken birdsong.

Historiated hiss alarms and Zeet! whistles. The first note interwoven with reed and rectrices. Intervertevibrato. Interstitial pishing. An onomatopoeic anatomy.
2
Bird the bilateral lung field. Downwind. (Catarrhic.) The bronchial understory couched in Creeping Spikerush, Three-square bulrush. Emargination and notch. Sternal notch. Costal facets.

chideep chidideep chideep chidideep… Call epiglottal. Call Swallow. Flight-sing the oscinic; the suboscinic, the supra-. (Oxygen song. H2O song. Ozonic.)
