I'm trying my first Magpie, Tess Kincaid's (of the grand Life at Willow Manor) writing prompt from her blog Magpie Tales. It's so nice to be part of a community of writers around here, isn't it? I just love you all. This is Magpie 65, and if you click on that, you will be able to link to lots of other writers' responses to this image of a lovely St. Francis statue offered by Tess.
Birds
Were they the center
of your being?
Their
bones impossibly light
like straw
blown from the barn floor
out the door
spiraling
a shadow on the air
with no darkness
at all
like this stir stick
and cream
swirling
infinite questions
that dissolve
in the well
of my morning coffee
