Log of Dead Birds

A wing as a bird.

A wing that catches the wind like the end of a conversation

and responds this way.

When I say bring your arm to bed

the invitation’s extended to the not-arm of you.

My body is less polite.

A wing as a mouth you con me with.

I enact a minnow-shaped cabin you press into.

We plane.

Whose resistance feigns air flight demands?
