“Mockingbird”

Mockingbird

A mockingbird paused /

to quench a thirst and I paused /

to fill a memory.

Photo finish Friday: “Seasonal waters”

Seasonal waters

It is the season. /

I drink from the mouth of death /

to quench my parched bones. /

Though I shall never be done /

for death now flows forth from me.
