delicate beauty,
the scent of spring,
I close my eyes…

If by evening forgiven,

Text on a nearly white background of water showing concentric ripples. "SKETCHY WRIT ON A WALL Below, in painted saints’ wake we found a cryptic notation written in charcoal promising a necrotic revival if we would commit to taste the kingfisher, so we did. Many major fines later for fishy songbird roasts from our provocative pursuits of kingfishers as delicacies, we finally became un-shallow enough to pore over a dictionary. We realized the ruse: our own avian massacres were the foretold necrotic revivals." Echognomics
