Dead Birds

Birds whom are dead on the banks of the great salt lake
Salted in brine, blackened by sand,
Dried into husks, feathers turned to wax paper
Brittle bones break under tired tides
As you Sink in shallow water and dissolve
Tiny pink life dances near your curled spine
and your beak stuck agape, to taste
The salty drink of this silver lake
