I used to think being willing to die for a cause was enough
But now I think you might need to actually fight for it
[10.03.2020 & 12.16.2020]
two raptors
flew overhead
and as i stood
thinking of her
and how i'm not there
(and someone else is)
((and he should be))
a third followed behind
and that could mean
so many things
a moment
bursting with symbolism
...but you fucking figure it out
(and by "you" i mean anyone
tell me what it means
please
because i can't make up my mind
about anything these days)

The Age of Wire and String: GOD
BIRD TO THE NORTH, ACT OF WIND
God rides bird to the north, act of wind implemented against the stationary position of most oceans. Certain weather is not recognized by the land it is practiced on; funnel clouds necessarily unravel or bank off any crusted terrain, hailstones and other atmospheric shale burn into water before the city receives them, whole temperate zones dissipate over a lake and suck upward. The act of riding procures a medical wind to heal these stagnations. The lark, the griffin, and the mallard, all birds of indeterminate temperature and vapor content, function as ignitors of the tide. For a ripple to spool downwind unobstructed, it must be set into force by the proper god riding above, often laced into the fur of a low-flying bird. What happens here is the beating of air into a still surface, the jostle-weave of the bird twisting off the new waves, and the swoop of the weather behind it as the plumage of the carrier ignites and recedes off the god-channeler's hands, dispatched with a blessing to unfurl and storm above the new-moving ocean.
TERMS
WEATHER BIRTHING - 4. Whispering while holding birds in the mouth.
HEAVEN - Area of final containment. It is modeled after the first house. It may be hooked and slid and shifted. The bottom may be sawed through. Members inside stare outward and sometimes reach.
LIVING, THE - Those members, persons, and items that still appear to engage their hands into what is hot, what is rubbery, what cannot be seen or lifted.
RARE WATERS, THE - Series of liquids containing samples of the first water. It is the only water not yet killed. It rims the eyes, falls from them during certain times, and collects at the feet, averting the grasp of hands, which are dry, and need it.
