Practice — A Poem

“Eastern Chipmunk” — C.Birde, 6/18

 

 

Sitting

in restless light

I write — one, two, three lines…

Pause… and drop treats for the locals…

Repeat.

Perfume — A Poem

“Honeysuckle” — C.Birde, 6/18

 

 

The air

so sweet in June,

perfumed, anointed in

mock orange and honeysuckle

bloom — breathe.

“Saturated Light” — C.Birde, 12/17

 

 

May we

invite Love to

saturate all we do;

to light our way when we stumble,

stray.

Flight — A Poem

“Flight” — C.Birde, 11/17

 

The trees’

weight of blackbirds

has diminished today;

the sky, less darkly rivered with

motion.

“Veil” — C.Birde, 10/17

 

This eve

the veil between

the worlds grows thin — night jars

and damsel flies hearthside and safe

again.

 

— C.Birde, 10/17

 

Elixir — A Poem

“Maple Elixir” — C.Birde, 10/17

 

Drift and

curl of light and

leaf in rose-water hues

flatter any who fall beneath

their spell.

— C.Birde, 10/17
