I catch the lark

I catch the lark within the day
It curves my neck toward the sky
I slip my fingers 'round its neck, 
a looming figure, these of angered while
I shall be reciting these without respite, a turning of will
An age or two has burnt the sky, 
little figures meant to set aflame
This bird, she watches patiently, but catchers, all, claim the same

    Today the skin of my knuckles split. Blood made a little stain on the back of my hand, and it stung. I saw the splotch, at first, earlier in the day, anyway, and it wasn't too bad, just a little red circle.

  • S(tella)PRING

    My body has an obvious, outward reaction to changes in temperature and lighting. Even when there is snow on the ground, as there is now, in February, I can smell the springtime hidden underneath it.
