wilderness meadow
tangled with light and shadow—
birdsong cleaves the air

A boulder surrounded by birdsong in a remote location, Apache County, Arizona
 


Some books I found in passing
Contained disturbing words:
The end is near, they seemed to say,
Pay heed to stones and birds;
 
For in this warming climate,
Where things are changing fast,
Not even stones and blackbirds
Have stamina to last.

the choices are few—
a stone in the soul or gems
buffed by suffering
