Poem -

melodic in thirst

The two feathers fell quite
 Melodic in thirst for the
Twirling and curling unknowing 
Of earth, not of landings
or purpose, creation or birth
Just delighting in free fall so light
in the flight from

a chicken that hung
upside down way above
dead eyed and mangled and
knowing no love

In its death

Hello Marion...

How can people be thirsty when they can buy Water in a Box?

It's hard to be thirsty when you have a promise in your heart...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

OMG!  This one makes for teary eyes. The contrast between the feathers (who doesn't pick up or look at a feather, with a loving smile?)  And the chickens, slaughtered on a grisly conveyor belt. Ohhhh ...brilliant writing xx
