Inkhorn Vanity

The storks are late this year
desorientated
by the changing of the weather
they are stark

they have lost their flightplan

lillies of the glen
try to show them
with the sound of their bells
the way of
the daisies
lilacs
daffodils
& poppies
up to the next autumn

what will the future years be
lots of birds species shall disappear
the swallows do not migrate any more
& what about crane-still life with skull
vanity of inkhorn

Jean-Philippe Guéant
