Carry the Spirit Forth
Out among the ptarmigan,
we debunk attention from the
moustachial stripe. Suddenly,
the mind goes blurry and with
shifting abstraction, pixels
shift to Hyocinth MaCaw,
dizzying the mental storm, and
allowing for moments of Albatross
to enter the visual pitch.
In our sublime encounters with
field-guide aesthetics, we carry
the spirit forth.
