the lifting night


The lifting night is leaving -
Birds begin.

Before the sun is up,
birds begin the day.
Before the moon is down,
birds begin the day.

= = = = =

This is where we all are
in this air between
our sun and moon and earth.

Inhaling and exhaling,
all exchanging
breath for breath for breath.

= = = = =

From tree to tree
a gathering of bird 
begins to dawn:

how once we preyed
and how we once
were preyed upon.
