Bonded
To this body of birds
Wheeling in freeform flock
Rooted
Radical in earthball
Tendrils tucked
Through trackless undergrowth
Voice of the heartstop hare
From her barren form,
Whisper and whicker,
Melt and bloat
Ductile seductive
Plastic at the seabird's throat,
Barnacles losing purchase
On the toxic rock
We be creation's crying
Syrinx singing
Solidarity
With rhythmic sobs
Please cope
Struggling to shine afresh
The sun slinks up,
Wandering west
To wash the waste
Pale gold
Wanhope.
