how do i say
blackbird
there is no more light
intersecting dreams
only you dared to invest
in the flicker of it
of something vastly misunderstood
and hidden
under broken fixtures
swallowing muted glow
falling between the spaces
a loneliness we excavated
the copper frailties
revealed to us
unbelievable findings
unearthed by our shadows
barely touching
blackbird
memorize, sanctify faint light
cast low yet with incredible truth
the light endeared to us
blinding
though imperceptible
but to the blackest of wings

Ms. Gradishar's poem sails on the wings of night, drawing power from flickers of light, provided by the blackbird. Such an uncanny vehicle to tie her poetic vignette together. Kudos to you, Ma'am
