Crossing the Abyss
Mountains of snow
smother flight
unable to escape
monochromatic gray
trees bow double
break under lead
trapped birds
flounder
No choice
but to be
‘With What Is’
What if I cannot
Cross the abyss?
Red bird is Witness
An intrepid turkey
chortles Yes.
Commentary: Birds are messengers. If we pay attention they bring us what we need.
