loosen the grip
Added 2025-04-14 19:56:42 +0000 UTCi walk near
a bird with plastic in the mouth
and this creature clings tightly
to treasure, swiftly flying on
/
and i wonder how many times
we cling tightly to what we think
is good for us, good for this
ephemeral form
/
to grip tenaciously
to contract beautifully
do not let go
make love to the poison
/
and then there is the unexpected
gust of wind
the drifting translucence
there was never anything to hold to!
/
i am the bird
i am plastic in the mouth
i am the one who watches
gently laughing at the absurdity
