Oskar's Drum Walker
Blackthorn wants my jacket
Hawthorn wants my hat
Bramble wants the skin of my shins
Magpie wears his crown
Black Crow wears his knife
Goldfinch wears his bright yellow gown
She flew in July
Fern, foxglove, butterfly
She drew me a blueprint
Simple yellow worlds
In the hospital sun
You hear the murmurs?
There is no time
It has poured and will pour
Through fingers for years
Water and sand
Carbon and diamonds
Longer than breaths
Please relish every little flash
A kingfisher leaping
A dancing blue jay
Goldfinch in his bright yellow gown
We go out walking in the woods today
Carry the body, carry the clay
