All unnecessary weight is eliminated… . Even the brain cells needed for song are lost and replaced seasonally in some birds. ~  Birds of North America, p. 63

The fall from heaven

or the escape flight from hell

both leave us

drifting in time and lost 

as stone tears are shed 

night is turned fog

by stone eyes filled with dirt tears

mouths cupped by our kisses to each

as they pass along the corridors of nearly nowhere
