Anatomie Ornis

Some say

in all the world's history there has been only one

kind of bird to see the color blue some say

it is the I

of

down

semiplumes

of powderdowns

some say

we are hooklets apteria

calamus bits

some say

we are only afterfeathers

for when everyone else

has gone

we remain to carry the day on

past owl blue and gather our retrices

for no one
