Travailing Genesis


to lay eyes upon a stork
white and fellow, I follow
it falls down from the hunter
tornado floating winter
hateful foe, I be the fallen
it twirls from a fire stick
when torch touches the lips
you press deeper, smoother
when queer rods de-feather
it sighs blemish last breathings
and I cope in open skies
and find comfort in caved silences
covering my bleakish ears
you perform your birdcall once more
and another fallen touches the earth
and another taming has given birth
shaken destiny, my only epiphany
the last stork has received the staking
and Yves smiles
no more
