such a fine debut
bold, blue, and so beautiful
wings rewrite the air

Blue Jay mid-landing on peanut-covered railing, wings fully extended, symmetrical pose, blurred winter trees behind.

Cooking in the dark,
Asking where’d you get tallow?
I replied, “homemade…”

The dimmest of lights
Shine on dark days, so go shine!
Light up what you can
Debut to the world, your truth
Shine! Whilst you still can.

The dark settled in.
Silently the brewing storm
Finally, landed.
With a ferocity that
Shook our foundation

Her ghost

cover me in dark
its hoarse voice flows and shivers
seamless on my skin

Her eyes are like a tiger:
Lurking in the woods with
The #ferocity, and myth
That pushes her ever higher.
