vulture spreads his wings to the sun
in thanks for this day
for this day the earth was good to him
vulture in his long house
dancing the stories of yesterday
in the masks of men
drumming and chanting
of how man swallowed the sun
(and raven smiles)
how there is no more than this
more comes at too high a cost
(raven stole the sun playing on such faults of men)
vulture in his long house
dancing the stories of today
how he sat very still for the longest time near a man and did not scare it away

how easy it is
to love what one cannot have
a heart breaking at every turn
the turn a choice
the choice a punishment
punishment a way of life
spawned by the denial of love
how one will seek
that which it already knows
ignoring all other possibilities
how difficult it is
to fall out of love with the impossible
