Suddenly Sullied & Sullen
As fireflies jarred the savior of breaths for the moment after the dazzling flash of sunless surrender. A deep wood retreats on itself, to reveal an open field. The taste of earth and iron. Blood. An armband made of animal hide. Suddenly sullied and sullen, swallowing the savior of breaths.
Flock
Emerging from damp cellars, I swore a long time ago, as clouds broke apart— Happy landings over the hillock. Swallow darts toward the treeline. One in a million bird. Under the shade of parasol pine.
