Vultures are holy creatures.
Tending the dead.
Bowing low.
Bared head.
Whispers to cold flesh,
“Your old name is not your king.
I rename you ‘Everything.’”
[The poem "Clergy" originally published in the collection Love Notes from the Hollow Tree by Jarod K. Anderson] #poetry

In the center of the forest,
there is an unlikely stone that remembers when the mountains
were new.
It waits in a circle of moss like the pupil of a green eye.
You kneel and ask it a wordless question.
It answers.
“Cherish exactly who you are. For there can never be another.”

Birds are dinosaurs who shrugged off a couple apocalypses. Some eat bone marrow. Some drink nectar. They outswim fish in the sea. They smile politely at gravity’s demands.
I am grateful to see them. I am grateful to feed them. I am grateful to know them.
I am grateful to see them. I am grateful to feed them. I am grateful to know them.

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
