Blackbird

I do not know which to prefer,

the beauty of inflections

or the beauty of innuendoes,

the blackbird whistling

or just after.

Even as a kid I've said it doesn't matter if I live to be 150: this life will be the blink of an eye. Poet, author, visual artist, photographer, educator and lover of life (though still working on the hard parts like Covid, violence, inequity), I'm completing a memoir inspired by and largely about dogs and people.
