Follow flight of birds

Mother wakes
Shaking off the crusts
From past wounds
Stretching taut
We receive havoc we brought
With our tiny hands
Tall splendour
She unfolds her gait
Ninth wonder
Defines her
Moving through Eleventh gate
Lava and thunder
Molten breath
She trembles and heaves
With the tides
As she rides
Brings upon us Mercy’s death
Split faith her stallion

The blind screech
They cling to tatters
Dying leech
Mind flatters
While the seeing heart scatters
The law of Talion

The children
Survivors of wreck
They sail lone
No captain
Only ghosts upon the deck
As they whimper lost

We reborn
From scattered blue coil
Remember
Past glory
Huddled in ship hear story
Of ancestors’ toil

Now rejoice
I will remind you
How we fled
Tomorrow
Leaving behind us sorrow
Shedding it like leaves
Nasal voice
Through Time’s loudspeaker
Calls for me
Warning shrill
It transforms to wing my gill
Splitting the ethers
Hurry child
Follow flight of birds
They head South
Where waters
Split through the red desert storms
Basking in two suns
