a finch
reminds me that wind swirls ashes to moths
when talons carry my puny treasures
off toward a slice of incarnadine sun.
the spider of my sins, aghast in its yanked net,
glowers at the dark slash of wings
as they part the dusk into a finality
of future versus past.
the j'accuse of the finch,
as unforgiving as the beak of a sphinx,
launches a trajectory so molten
it is the birth of the Earth itself--
beyond the scope of my vision,
immune to its many eyes, their sticky strands of
petty contempts and stolen comforts,
so dark.
