Michael Diehl, Birds 7
the echo is a dance of abandonment #2
thus
& the radiance
becomes radioactive
as we force
the continuation
of our welcoming
of ghosts
of the tense tenses
the flux
of beauty
that atomizes
the birds into flight
& the end of flight
the song that stays
a song
even when it dies
in the throat
of the impetus
