Poem Where Every Bird Is a Drone —Tarik Dobbs (Source: Poetry Foundation) Black on white image of a tree where the trunk and all the branches are comprised of the word ‘bird’ including the letters in ‘bird’ arranged vertically in the tree trunk. The text of the following poem appears below as the ground or base holding the tree up. man has always envied the bird & now I envy the murder & now I murder the murder & now birds playback live on the air & now dead birds live in the air & now men call murder champagne now men call sign murder champagne & a man's fist pours a glass of champagne & now his bottle hisses & was it carbonation or the flutter of wings? & now they bird a house & now soldiers behind a desktop sing champagne & now they bird another house & now champagne & now they bird until a blackout & now the tree's murder is its own blackout & now a wall of murder & now the conspiracy comes true: a tree in which every bird is a drone.

A concrete poem in the shape of ginkgo leaves. The poem reads: "Last of my family, I can still recall the Great Dying. The last time I breathed air like this, there were no continents, we lived on that fiery Pangea born of collision, where no asteroid had yet struck, where flowers had not yet begun to evolve, and my family still lived. But these days, I feel my cells breathe familiar air that tastes of extinction. A hundred million years I've been the only one one left, a 'living fossil' and soon a dead one. You say I'm endangered, I say I miss forests of Fern and gymnosperms where nothing could yet call itself king which did not have scales. But perhaps if the sky grows hotter still, I can call forth from myself a legion of offspring, resurrect my dead sisters, and grow a new order of many-lobed, fan-shaped beauties, with golden leaves, to cover a new Pangea ripe with methane and sweltering with lizards.
Ginkgo, 2024.
A poem about what the 'living fossil', last of its genus, remembers.

Ink stamp words in the shape of a bird reading I like birdwatching but nobody likes the poor magpie
Love this concrete poem made yesterday during a creative workshop for people living with dementia. It reads 'I LIKE BIRDWATCHING BUT NOBODY LIKES THE POOR MAGPIE'.
