The building materials of birds and beasts




Word twigs and mental notes
love letters and innuendo
discarded lines from forgotten songs
run-on lines and lost punctuation
a bit of sunshine
a moonbeam or two
pages from a favorite book
dog-eared days 
the smile of a stranger
and inevitable misinterpretation
the building blocks
of our sanities 
feathering of certainty
the strengths of fragility:
our lives and our eternities
woven in ignorance 
and the arrogance of knowing --
still pretty
still made for a music score.
