(Poetry/ Vol. 1. ) A Pearl Feather




If found a gift

If found a gift this thorn in flesh
Then life’s glory was for ever
My turning thing, the thing I treasured
Then joy and a pearl feather

If beginning in water and ending in wine
In the midst and all the way through divine
Then was the wind wine, the wine rain:
The writings of an only daughter

If found of love in being made of love
And in the thick never more or less
Then this, my river and my ink my breath: 
All cradled life and a pearled feather
