OF BIRDS & NAMES (A Haiku, A Scifaiku Series & A Dream Haiku)

[digital art by Jonathan Cummings on webshots.com]


live cam:
the osprey looks all around
from her nest

Click here to see the live cam of osprey on the nest. It's been an eery exprience every time I've visited the site. I always have the odd sense the bird knows I am watching and is looking right back at me whenever it turns my way. (Yes, there may be activity around the cam, but still...:-D) Now, take that feeling further into positing a sentient and psychic bird-like race, and you have the source of the below scifaiku series I wrote in July of this year:

THE NAMING

turn wrestle turn
the hardness cracks
the world rocks open

exhausted mind-search
where is The Keeper

wet wings
tremble in a rush of wind
The Keeper lands

open mouth
greets His bright beauty

The Keeper fills
all emptiness with song
I dream my name

Lastly, here's a haiku about a dream I had a few days after writing "The Naming:"

reconciliation
will be your name
last words heard

‘til next time, keep dreaming,
