paranoid martyr i saw it crashing into the window pane at the church. terrifying sound. like a forehead against a windshield. it was my first communion. we ran after it in our pretty white dresses, wearing gloves, like some kind of princess honoring whoknowswhat. i was excited about it all. however, the moment the details of its little broken wings, the shattered glass and the crimson blood came to my mind, i realized a bit of my future: jesus christ was -and would be- the last thing that mattered in my life. 030115

Ouroboros last week our picture window produced a half-word
heavy and hollow, hit by a brown bird
we stood and watched her gape like a rattlesnake
and pant and labour over every intake

I said a sort of prayer for some sort of rare grace
then thought I ought to take her to a higher place
said: "dog nor vulture nor cat shall toy with you
and though you die, bird, you will have a fine view"

then in my hot hand
she slumped her sick weight
we tramped through the poison oak
heartbroke and inchoate

the dogs were snapping
so you cuffed their collars
while I climbed the tree-house
then how I hollered!
cause she'd lain, as still as a stone, in my palm, for a lifetime or two

then, saw the treetops, cocked her head and up and flew
(while, back in the world that moves, often
according to the hoarding of these clues
dogs still run roughly around
little tufts of finch-down)
