Marginalia 20/02/2014
I have started
drawing birds
in the margins.
The space is birds,
all the white is birds.
“Open your eyes.
The light is birds.”
And words are birds
“As gay as words
they fly” the birds
are in my brain
now nesting
flying singing
doing what birds
do in fact in poems
and in poets
who are like birds
or would like to be
or are birds.
