Diamond FiretailTiny finch you land with a beakful
of nesting material spinning
a pretty crimson tail
I am motionless, considerate of
any mishap that might interrupt

where with lightning quickness
you successfully organize
into a tiny nest, various grasses,
downy seeds or...

major storm on the horizon reported from the forecastlemajor storm on the horizon reported from the "Fo'c'sle"
Though forever being a landlubber

deep within the bowels of the Earth
immensely distant from the sheltering sky
amidst a thick fog enveloped landscape
with here and there a projected
craggy, derelict chasm
precipitously crooked

Yesterday was dangerous, today the odds have improved.
This...
