GRAY BIRD

On a totem-pole of the world,

Where do I fall

And who is my animal

And what is it that makes me valuable


Do my memories

Create a varnish that is suitable

Does my love, laughter

Do they create meaning


My personality or my half-aflame brain

That eluding feeling,

That desperate reaching in the dark,

Is that truth


Driven towards a wandering purpose

Born into an unmovable position

In damped fire,

I find myself 

a fleeting Gray bird.
