there must be poetry in these words
somewhere
lusty and sensual
taut and sinewy
soft and sweet

i'd be happy to write it for you
if only you were around to read it

it's not that i forget about you
background noise
blending with all the other desires
that drown out the question
of what the inside of your lips taste like
and how it feels to sit with you
under the stars
the waves of your soul
crashing against my skin
my cells
my innermost membranes

real, you
maybe
one day
a dream the next

i like the dream

better the dream
than the ebb tide that would take it away
once you became real


if
you chose
one day
to become real

Crow featured is Lod, who is very, very real. By choice.

How did you manage to photograph the bird so closely?

Well, firstly, I have a 600mm lens and a camera that lets me crop to the equivalent of 900mm. But also, I spend a lot of time with these crows and they trust me, and let me come very close to them.
This guy is the adult son of the crow in the photos:

They're all wild.

By the way, crows are smart enough to become human friends.

I'm wondering if it's a typo, and you meant to write "taut". I hope it's not, though :)

LOL
No, it was a typo. I kept going over and over thinking something wasn't right but couldn't figure it out. So many words! I do that, sometimes.
Thanks!
