A Bird of Feather

Here's a new piece, tentatively written for the degree project.

Birds of Feather


Engulfed by mist

language labels its history


-a colloquial organ in flight


-a familiar form

(yet how each longs for escape from blue feathers)


-a flying V

writhing within

the frost of verbiage;


-an orphaned lark

abandoning her wings

with bemusement:


(but does time remember

the task of living

as life's lattices unwind?)


Manifest

within the wind


channeling the congress of lost ravens


a voice nuzzles the velvet

that envelops the night
