For the Sake of Birds
the end of life takes
all lives with it
bathe her
in stone
catch heart
feed her
she heals
feed her
she sings she sings
a mothers achy song
& a body
​
such rot
​
the carcass
​
a damaged bird
her hands
​
purple
lilacs
"Time Bleeding Through" - Larry D. Thacker
Month of Wildfire
storm is slow moving
both heat & dried out
douglas fir wait
for late sky
to singe needle & wood
this is your mind now
idle smell of smoke & sage
