Hi Ignacio, This was written after curiosity led me to follow your tracks back to your poem and subsequent events.

Orderly rings of thin black tracks
tighten into hasty spirals
collide - then quickly vanish
into an inevitable and still center.
Across a cooly luminescent rectangle
soft feathers dark and white
are scattered randomly - pearl
unstrung and flung into the night.

Soul-scouring winds bend saplings, dry
transparent leaves detach, whirl, briefly flame,
the ashes drift; yet - then
the bones and feathers rearrange themselves again.

Shivers on the air a great, unfurling question Why?
A leaf-crowned crane still dances on a silver tray of sky.

B.L.
