Katherine Young - Diligence Is To Magic As Progress Is To Flight

From -Bird Songs-
text:

White lies
Widen eyes,
Night eyes widen, wise

Wings spread word,
A straight line.
Names take flight.

Screaming murder,
Crowded branches know the score,
Raining daggers evermore.

Black eyes, stone,
Seeing red, 
Quick to recognize,
A-head, trouble lies waiting
Down below. 
Waiting…
