Perpetual Arrivals




Elusive flight beckons
clipped wings
and muddied thoughts
yank the earthbound
closer to ossified
ascendants.

Vertebrae clatter in
toothpick chatter
await the plummet,
and the plume of dust
announces that a new
dweller has arrived.

    vertabrae clatter in
    toothpick chatter
