Mitchell Ny @mitchellny.com · Jul 28 How gingerly a sparrow picks flesh in ribbons lacing bone. How precariously do we hold the bird in a fist as we raise them? How certainly do we pluck from them their plumage & pinfeathers through downy undercoat & crested crown for meat & molt when all the seeds have gone? #vss365 #poetry
