the dodo comes home to roost
outside the shark tank
a bird of paradise stands guard
plumes of smoke rise from the Heron's nest;
a peacock feathers the eye
courts the hunger of another sunrise
for the night is wild and the lion roars
with golden eyes
condemned to sew my shroud,
i am Penelope at arm's length,
my sister Persephone names another name
for the Shams
of my broken heart,
though i am not ashamed
the love i have is a blessing that wipes away
the karma of time,
"I am sailing, I am sailing home again, across the sea,
I am sailing stormy waters to be near you, who can say?"
I am flying, I am flying like a bird across the sky
I am flying passing high clouds to be near you, who can say?"
I am those who die in Spring.
I collect stamen from the resurrecting crocus,
I smell of saffron.
