#2157 - death by window

 


2157

6.328

25.xi.25

death by window

 

such fine feathers

as made from winter

nor long till maggot

 

and the blowfly comes

one must imagine

flight from this stillness

 

to gaze upon

find a shovel in the shed then

may the creek take you

 

as glory as any tree perch leaf through

was not the air an ocean all around

how could nothing interrupt?

 

of course it was light led me

beak first to eternity

who knew that wings

 

were up against time?

that death was all along?

don’t touch

 

it’s a window through which I’m shown

now I see the fortress we’ve built

how it is moated

 

promise me

please promise me

you won’t clean them again
