bird advice

chips of light 
fall from beaks of birds 
                                       beadyburp
when the winds fail to blow
do birds plead, 
do they mourn? 

no. be that wide, 
wide as wind above the earth. 

wide as water 
under doors 
surrender course 
seep where you are. 

you are 
humming 
empty 
like a grapeseed 
swells from light. 

my soul settles 
under your skin. 
standing still, we spin 
bright 
midnights 
around us, 
your curly hair. 

who is not bewildered? 
who cares! 

let's be wind now 
wailing, finish this poem 
in the dark.
