Vultures

silence can be 

proverbially golden


when cracks appear

patina can seal the fissures 

and cradle what is left 

once speechless bubbles 

make reason and sense 

until the arbiter of emotion 

glows from the dark


peace emerges 

from quietude and honesty 

as alchemy turns falseness 

into precious verdicts


little birds start talking to a rainbow 

in between picking at the worms 

of time and growth


the albatross is set free
