~Watercolor Mirror~


  ~delicate & impassioned~
  ~trees in the ocean forest~
  ~sway madly in the water wind~
  ~long for a taste of the moon~

~fin winged creatures fly~
  ~perform aqua aerobatics~
  ~cling to a singular darting motion~
  ~clouds in a liquid sky~

~some deep & forgiven~
  ~dwell in a land of lesser angels~
  ~whose sin was eyes~
  ~& sea the less~

~this nature of lottery~
  ~its thin needle of faith~
  ~rewards the aggressor~
  ~in a tangle-web of numbers~

    ~the march of the heavens~
  ~pulls hair from all trees~
  ~excites an ebb & flow of blood~
  ~in a sweep of timeless tide~

Picture
~Fly Away Home~
    
~there are trees on fire~
  ~in the dying forest~
  ~flames become~
  ~their fate~
  ~ashes & tomb~
  ~birds’ wings ablaze~
  ~in a smoking tower~
  ~of the afternoon~
   
 ~a sparrow sings her death song~
  ~as she frets about her nest~
  ~she pushes them out~
  ~one by one~
  ~those born to her~
  ~nurtured~
  ~until they are devoured with the rest~

~man beasts~
  ~pour water from the sky~
  ~they tell~
  ~terrible stories~
  ~of the inferno & why~
  ~the sky fell~
    ~the tiniest tears~
  ~someone ought to know~
  ~how brave she was~
  ~the courage of the sparrow~
