One day, we’ll see a fertile earth.
If
only we survive.

I see her in birds
magpies, in particular
the
blue & the white

she grabbed her walker
& rolled right out the front door
destined
for the sea
~Stephen Ground
she ran her fingers
through his bird's nest of a beard
&
pulled out an egg

of the season
the smell
of coming winter
at
the window
