Last Rites

by Lorna Grozier

When he finally showed himself
he was a bird with ragged wings
and black crow feet. He landed
on her window sill, then hopped to the floor,
wings clattering like TV antennae
lowered from the roof and taken
to the nuisance grounds.
On one foot two toes were missing
and his chest was plunked bare,
goose-pimpled skin raw and scabby.
When he saw the look on her face,
he began to whine,"You think
I can help the way I look?
I like going where I'm not wanted?"
The felt sorry for him
till she remembered who he was.
"Shoo,"she said,"Shoo."
He limped toward her.
"I'll call the dog."
Death stopped. He coughed and coughed,
chest heaving as if his heart
were breaking out. "I don't fell well"
he said. "I don't need all this trouble."
He hopped twice, his tail dragging
like a dirty broom across linoleum.
At the bedside table he raised
her cup of spittle, drank it down.
He unwound the bandages
from her throat and wiped his brow
This close up, there was something
in his yellow eyes she found appealing.
They never blink,
never closed, never had a chance
to stop looking at the world.
She threw back the covers and sat
on the bed for the first time in days.
Death put his wing around her
like an old-fashioned gentleman
offering his cape because
the night was cool. He said,
"It's not so bad, where we're going,
but you'll have to carry me a while.
my feet aren't what they used to be."
The woman felt her last
breath leave her body,
it hovered in the air between them,
then she stood and picked up Death.
He was light and suddenly no bigger
than a sparrow. If he spoke
she could no longer hear him.
He trembled in her hand,
the only warm thing against her flesh --
it was so cold. "It's okay,"
she tried to tell him.
"I won't hurt you."
She placed him gently in her mouth.
Her tongue seemed to be missing
and inside of one cheek.
As she floated to the window
she was careful not to break
his small wings with her teeth.

超长的诗....终于打完了......(甩爪子.....)
这首诗里面的伤痕累累的黑色小鸟象徵著死亡
不知怎么想到灵了
（小声：灵貌似很喜欢自己的鸟化版....）
然后想配画.....
结果试了一下发现灵不好画.....
修长飘逸的画风....太难了（掩面....）
