favicon | And Pollution

In the greyness
and drizzle of one despondent
dawn unstirred by harbingers
of sunbreak a vulture

perching high on broken
bone of a dead tree
nestled close to his
mate his smooth

bashed-in head, a pebble
on a stem rooted in
a dump of gross feathers, inclined
affectionately to hers…
