Finch Beaks MAG
October 22, 2015
finch beaks
parted open
mid-cry
rotting beneath
the hard-packed earth
deafened by the wild
unkind nature
vines curling around tree trunks
poison oak and ivy
green bar cells
lion kings
waiting to pounce
cut-up paws
unearthed bones
jagged teeth
gnawing on
tree trunks
finch beaks
parted open
mid-cry
rotting
beneath the unforgiving earth
deafened by the wild.
