Ohara Koson: Crow eating a Persimmon, 1910

Andrea Cohen, from Unfathoming

[poetry-rivers]

I am standing on the dunes in the heat of summer and I am listening

to mockingbird again who is tonguing his embellishments and, in the distance,

the shy weed loving sparrow who has but one soft song

which he sings again and again and something somewhere inside

my own unmusical self begins humming: thanks for the beauty of the world. Thanks for my life.

Mary Oliver, "I am Standing" from Evidence: Poems

Crows and Moon, by Kôgetsu, 19th century, Japan.

[cryptonature]

Vultures are holy creatures.

Tending the dead.

Bowing low.

Bared head.

Whispers to cold flesh,

“Your old name is not your king.

I rename you ‘Everything.’”

(From my poetry collection Love Notes from the Hollow Tree by Jarod K. Anderson.)

“What a shame to have been born a human being and to spend your whole life worrying.”
