the homeward lark spun through the snow, among the diamond-falling, dead, cold, dead-called, from the sky. the pull of insistent curtain wet plunged its wings in iceless rain, feathers knit and unknit. bird beak opened to the sun and a small trickle of gemstone hew as it lay among the roots of the earth. |

B Squirrel, amazing images painted with such clarity. This poem is breathtaking, "I concede relationships have left me weak Won't be here so I don't care Look for something worthy to replace my guilt" Mansun legacy |

Thanks, everyone. The poem title comes from the fact I wrote this at work while the boss is away, and she told me before that writing poetry is a "fireable offense." (check back to "the day creativity took a powder" for that story) Mike |
