I look at the sky.
A vulture hovers over
the horizon chest
like a tin pectoral cross,
barely hanging by a thread.
Smell of carrion.
I lie on the ground and see
the vulture falls down
into the cloudy collar.
The sky lost the faith. Like me.

‘The sky lost the faith’ – I think that’s a beautiful expression.

It completely is, isn’t it? It’s like the sky has given up and caved in. Such beautiful wording.

This one came out of left field for me, Meg. Usually Tati’s poems are hopeful and uplifting in some way. But this one? Well, actually, now that I think on it I don’t think I could say this is merely depressing. In a strange kind of way… it’s cathartic, don’t you think? Like there’s more that could follow… 🙂
