qarrtsiluni

by Glenis Redmond

Down the dark tunnel of throat
in the threaded jungle of larynx,
what if what is waiting is not a humble

What if what is waiting is a ragged bark
of a crow perched on the breath,
not with a small cry
but a crimson song
filling the hush of the horizon
with lungs flared in full wing.
