[Carolina Parakeet, 1939]
of commonplace miracles
[Silver Trout, 1930]
forgive our joyless understanding
[Passenger Pigeon, 1914]
our eyes too small to see
[Golden Toad, 1989]
our tiny chambered heart
[Caribbean Monk Seal, 2008]
our closed fisted hands
[Chinese Paddlefish, 2007]
our bony shelled skulls
[Pinta Island Tortoise, 2012]
our pointy words
[Tasmanian Wolf, 1932]
but if our days be unforgiven
[Javan Tiger, 1979]
let's leave no history behind
[Heath Hen, 1932]
so like all we have forsaken
[Yangtze River Dolphin, 2007]
we’ll go without a sound.
