In the unscrubbed mirror: Stork III

2012 Norway and Latvia 068

Stride confidently
While you can
Through groomed and gutted pastures,
The Earth laid out
Like a mortal banquet.

You are not
Just the guest.

“It’s a question of scale.
The same structure,
The same light, dazzles
Our eyes. What part is home,
We decide.”

Said the flea,
To the stork.

There is a heaven where
Storks clean their wings
And keep the earth
Clear of all that crawls
And stings

The light there
Is unbearably true
