...flanking are breasts; So:
web crossing it, hemmed in look = A Brassiere.
birds nest in crooks; droppings stain facade.
I KNOW bird-poets pertains to AF; but maybe it
should be generallized to female self-suckling.
(I use acronym SS for that.)
"HERE IS MOUTH", so trope birds, as all things,
are "here" where their mouth is. Crooks?
facade IS face, so droppings could refer to
pendulous, or to ... milk. (I lack words.)
band of children climb struts, lob stones into
puddles in street, leap down to retrieve them.
Excepting self-referential M, this is youth at
love: boys get to breasts, lob stones, go down.
M as much as A is somehow the house/mother of D.
The girl lets fall her stones. 'Come,' she says.

Coitus is both an act of writing in one direction
("with a man's pen") and a speech act in the other
("hear what the spirit saith unto the churches").
There's way more here! That "the boys make no response,
staring at him unyieldingly" suggests his own phallus:
a treble shape; an ear, but he is yet mute; and a
writer, but he has no eye (opthalmos/hole) to read.
The next "warren" of a paraphraph must be female
genitalia, and I am no expert on physiology: Is
there a doctor in the house?
Droshky Dad does not "get paid" until page 3, and
leaves, so from here to there is the primal mystery
of parental coitus. D is as sperm here. M is egg?
