Kit Kelen #116 - today, the vanishing


116
today, the vanishing


smell of death
might have been this that
possum wallaby


birds die in the air
and vanish


smell of death is snake today
and each day lessened
to a string of bones


those lesser angels
a day's age back
all manic attention
now direct their wings elsewhere


snake sinking
as the grass must rise
steady in the rain
