realm of the dead bird


Found Poem from Cunningham's The Hours


          after the mourners
          have laid down wreaths
          wheels have rolled away
          
          the grave remains
          frightening   
          this cemetery feeling
          
          body tiny even for a bird
          utterly unalive, a lost
          handful of death

          how much more space 
          a being occupies in life
