Wings and Things

a goldfinch burrowed into my chest.

that is not what goldfinches do, I know,

but this one did.

it was what i needed at the time anyway.

Finches

Finches

rest here

Corvids and Coins, Or Crow Box

I lure them to me

and ask them to give up

their glinting metallic trove–

a precious heirloom in exchange

for a pellet of food.
