bluebird falls from nightsky to dense city by the freeway as pagans watch with hungry eyes
Justin Taylor
in time of sowing
rain clouds: sky's burden
moist earth opens leering
growth may happen here
dripped into blood puddle
river of childless burning
show begins angry people
flame licks singe flesh
back to broken treetops
this secret aurora borealis
measured deception in silence
loose lock of hair
