      |

a vulture perched across my yard and He watches while I read

August 2024

I don’t believe in omens. Just the backdrop in your mind - remembrances that do not let you sleep. So it helps me focus when the Watcher chooses form.

What’s more difficult to bear:

two eyes that shift blinked blue shut, welded to the sky.

or one fixed on you - the other on the other side.
