Cinquain Chain: Link #2 (Or, NaPoWriMo 2016, Day…um, I don’t even know anymo’)

(Link #2 of a poetry exchange between Natalie and myself. Making a chain of cinquains 
[a Cinqchain?] in an effort to "unchain our muses."  I am, as ever, late....) 

(It seemed appropriate to show the whole chain thus far, so I have included Natalie's
deliciously dark Link #1. Which is what the link above, umm, links 2--er, to...)



Around
what dead thing are
the vultures circling?
There is always a corpse somewhere
nearby.

Nearby,
there are blossoms
breathing in the dark night.
Why is the air so empty in
our dreams?






...keepin' the Po in NaPoWriMo...
