Beyond words,
birds are burning,
& I’m walking with nothing but a snaking horn,
Singing photographs from silent stars
into whisperwallsInto
the camera of time’s tiny bones
partially buried backwards through the sound or rhythmsMissing from music.
When those birds
can’t sing
above their own flames,Attempt to veil softly, reflecting any feather artifacts
closer to mine.And
when we are blind:Keep the birds clean,
& even angels won’t understand
your eyelids.
