i lie on the beach
under tangerine skies
amid scattered
and twisted debris,
while 13 black birds,
dispatched from
the sun,
are fast coming
‘cross the dark sea.
they’ve come
to escort
a lost soul
to the west,
a soul that’s been
newly set free,
and their black
beady eyes
look around
for their prize–
o why are they
looking at me?
