THE ORIGIN OF BIRDS
The birds were first inanimate, golden.
Then their eyes were mailed
from the depths of the ocean,
God squeezed feathers out of his own pillow,
beaks were made from forest thorns
One dawn they were borne out of dark
inside of the marine-blue body of dew
only to find their nest behind man’s forehead
