raze
rocks
and
trees
,
she
said
.
somehow
i
heard
her
say
rocket
birds
.
and
i
wondered
how
a
tired
brain
could
bend
mineraloid
matter
and
the
perennial plants
that
allow
us
to
breathe
into
something
so
unnecessary.
because
a
bird
doesn't
require
a
jet
-propelled cluster
of
cones
to
grant
it
flight
.
there's
more
than
enough
magic
already
stitched
into
its
spine
to
make
a
mockery
of
any
aircraft
arrogant
enough
to
believe
it
belongs
in
the
sky
beside
all
the
winged
things
that
weave
their
way
through
famine
and
fog
with
a
grace
no
machine
could
hope
to
match
.
