~singing in the loft~
~balcony~
~feathers dripping dew~
~& doo on you~
~wings fluttering~
~talons grasping~
~a circling retreat~
~dive of vengeance~
~masters of survival~
~reptilian spore~
~lizard wings wizard~
~tongue in beak cawing~
~dripping aeon~
~a limbing gasp~
~egg fertilization~

~Birds I View~


~whomever hears a choir~
~must needs long for noel~
~just so...  those inclined toward~
~the voices of birds~
~listen for spring~
~as one might any day sing~
~yet exalt in the clamor~
~of rich pitch soprano~
~& tenor rising~
~on alto bass legs to soar~
~all ways speak an air of wing~

~there were five this morning~
~whose dark coat raven~
~one more bearer await the pall~
~together badger the hawk~
~make a meal of its prey
~caw, caw, caw the hunter~
~they strut in magnificent jest~
~whose eyes four hundred years~
~they live each & longer even~
~unimpressed by fate~
~scavengers & better for it~

~such are the birds I view~
~gray tongues wagging lament~
~threatening at once to land~
~that the sky would fall~
~to bury its stick pins~
~ebon cloak named night~
~these bits of blue/black~
~lift the mantle & fear not~
~that gone unexplained~
~its quick reason~
~a dark eye bead~
~such are the birds' eye view~

~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
~tympany of  armor~whisper leaves click~
~roots of dawn~dinosaurs & ants~ devour us~
~give birth our children~God-brain consciousness~chaos~ catastrophe~stasis~
~reduced mobility~mordidity~metamorphosis~
~blood on blood definition~
~diseased to survive~destined to breed out~
~Trees~

~like giant frozen ants~
~they people the horizon~
~are they marching or cloud passing~
~illusion or prehistoric gait~
~open to specific remembrance~
~certainty of future scene~
~opportunities in the eye of dawn~

~on the threshold~
~a keen awareness develops~
~provides window~
~a frame of reference~
~these are circles we have been~
~tied wandering to bodies of water~
~feet planted as some tender root~
~proud bent & dependent~
~each separate universe of skin~
~a community of creatures~
~rapt about its god brain~
~chaos~
~random catastrophic event~
~brittle static hair~
~nests~
~a whisper of dinosaur wing~
~primordial umbrella~
