Waiting for Hera

pensées d'oiseaux

By Timothy James LanePublished 3 years ago 1 min read

facing the weight of the wind

old birds hang in the air

pages of a tired book

knowing of things off paper

words mostly seen from above

scratched deftly in the wash sands

the beaches thoughtless and cold

as young birds crouch and stumble

onto a runway into a horizon

speaking out to a number of stars

were they to open their wings

time would hesitate

the pages lifted too quickly

a twist in the arms of a new galaxy

along her shoulders in both directions

different similarities similar differences

the oldest indifference of solar rain

when you find the windswept atolls

catch small birds quickly

with your left hand

and wait

surreal poetry
