Crouching on a beak
of a bird
tinier than Nils Holgersson
I report to save the world

 

High up we travel along the rivers

They sparkle and glisten
in diffuse light

 

Nervous cores
quicksilver veins

 

Hearts fell from the sky
like starlings
scattered
a mass grave
a pattern

 

One heart flies with me
