Birds

Death came for you

Leaving you a corpse on the dry plain

in the hot sun

Birds see you from far above and descend

Their beaks tearing away your flesh

They are here to liberate you from the earth

and take your body up into the sky

Dissolve.. let go of form…

Fly up with the birds

into the bright sky



Death birds from Çatalhöyük ca. 7000 BCE

animal, shamanism, death, anatolia, poetry
