Kittiwake

The kittiwakes (genus Rissa) are two closely related seabird species in the gull family Laridae, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) and the red-legged kittiwake (Rissa brevirostris). The epithets "black-legged" and "red-legged" are used to distinguish the two species in North America, but in Europe, where Rissa brevirostris is not found, the black-legged kittiwake is often known simply as kittiwake, or more colloquially in some areas as tickleass or tickleace. The name is derived from its call, a shrill 'kittee-wa-aaake, kitte-wa-aaake'. The genus name Rissa is from the Icelandic name Rita for the black-legged kittiwake. more »

I was considering the sentiment 
My lips upon the earth 
Kissing the dirt 
Digging, digging into it 

You catch me stirring 
With wide eyes and whimpering 
Slow down and muddle 
My movements, my thoughts 

I've become stunted 
A glimmer, a glance 
Hold me above the water 

And I was considering the sentiment 
Of a bird through window flown 
Broken glass shattered 
And little particles were sent forth 
Out into the world 
Their feathers to drift 
Into thickets and flowers 
And pressed between the pages 

I'm the wiggling worm 
Caught in beak 
Snatched up and swallowed whole 

You care 
You caress 
You dream me into 
The beautiful-est 
You make me feel 
Alternating 
Like I'm veering between 
Two extremes 

And I was considering the sentiment 
Of a house gone down in flames 
Licking their lips 
And reaching for ceiling beams 
Suffocated and gasping for breath 
Lying still and motionless 
Tumbling down, and down, and down 

I'm lost 
No lucidity 
Bring me back, please 

I was considering the sentiment 
My lips upon the earth 
Kissing the dirt 
Digging, digging into it 

Alternating uplift me 
Dash me 
Repeat
