And Birds

My mind does not work in dialogues.

It slinks through tangents and mispronounced anecdotes,

like a forlorn seabird in dense fog.

My mouth does not say words.

It hops from each utterance with no end in sight,

like a wistful warbler in a raging storm.

My hands do not hold on.

They slip over textures and tap erratic Morse code upon fractured panes.

Like a tactless raven with a dull stone.

My heart knows only measure.

It aches from self-imposed retributions,

like the abandoned parakeet with no more feathers.
