wind starting to shake,
reed ears open, waiting
for seeds to blow out
cherrystone clam shells
intricate paintings within
find the matching pairs
this bamboo autumn

to the mud pit squelch
the swan protecting
her cygnets on the river
a wall of feathers

can't remember the bird type,
only the ending.
pony down the mine
not seen sun since the summer
a pony no more
