Craft

There are instructions

in that medieval book 

for carving ten

from one polished 

mirror.

Beach Find

A guest at its own party,

breathing difficult, gills

tarnished by life spent 

infantilized by fear 

of the open ocean.

Raptor Ridge

The destination we’ve chosen 

for tomorrow’s training hike 

and another chance to practice

our sky burial.
