Hour Ten –    MAGPIE                 Mary Pecaut

 

I’m the bringer of all that sparkles,

harbinger of luck – good or bad 

you decide.

 

My cackle is a siren’s call

A matriarchal cry

Save Our Mother Gaia

 

My metallic green and purple sheen

gleam glossy 

yet all is not 

what it seems.

 

Rising waters engulf 

the earth, the future 

is grim.  Here we are –

                              Out on a limb
