Excerpted from Feeding the Birds
Birds come, disappear. The worlds we set
Within our own, to appease the stars
We have shut out from our skies, must thrive
As must all things unlike and beyond ourselves.
We feed our loss to the creatures we love:
Stale bread crumbs, scattered on waters, dissolve.
{Poem by Bradley W. Buchanan}
