Blackbird Mist
Folder:
A Fellow Creature Ann described the Army's
decision to kill
tens of thousands
of Kentucky's Fort Campbell area
blackbirds by spraying them
with detergent.
In the winter
the heat from their bodies rose
as gentle mist
as they slowly froze
..
as if their spirits were visible
in leaving their bodies below
Amazing! Truely amazing! I really like the imagery of the mist rising from their dead bodies and then the comparison between that and their souls. Great work!
