The Old Vulture’s Tears
Circling.
Impending.
Watching.
Its old eyes
can see through memory.
Pitch black.
Ingesting.
Flashback.
It takes in
the birth,
the hope,
the solitude,
the kindness,
the darkness,
the persistence,
and the love.
A transparency
refracts light.
A transformation
is born.
A green egg
sent by Osiris.
A last glance
With old black eyes.

About the Creator
Cen.
The writing started when I was a child living near the woods in California.
Now, as a grown-up living in a busy and crowded Asian city, I find flow and peace when I am genuinely writing.
I hope that is what you feel when you read my writings.
