This poem of mine appeared in the Canadian Writer's Journal, June 2002 issue. It and another poem of mine, "I Hear Death" will be printed in Nancy Purnell's LUNATIC CHAMELEON. There's a lot of good poetry at Nancy's website , check it out.
Let My Words Take Wing By Steve Vernon Writers have to sell to live - this is truth, or so I'm told but the moment you believe this lie is the moment you begin to die Take a look at sparrows squatting on hydrowires like so many feathered clothespins indifferent to the megavolts of stolen river current winding through their brittle feet That's art: independence of existence indifference to power and if you're lucky, wings.
