the dark bird calls. may be starting an engine.

it has a sound about it.                        the word.

not at all biblical,

in that sense of

the word.

some people come unhappy. tired, out of sorts.

all sorts.

i had wanted to live on an island,

where they burned the       grass.

stubble.

it became quite private.

i like to hear those birds; they are coming closer.
