mongrel mind.

The meadows unfold before me like gently nestled bird wings sloping off a turkey's back. I have an urge to pluck the shafts from the avian landscape, and a deep set fascination to solve - just how many feathers can a bird lose before it no longer flies? Let's pick a few then toss it up to find out.

So it is I move forward, lips brushing the carcass of the earth, so withered in this lack of light, in search for feathers to appease my appetite. Unfortunately this one only sates that of my physical needs. Perhaps once my gluttony is abated I can find a true bird. What I manage to graze on is tough and unappealing, though a poke or two from a thistle later sets my tongue bleeding and suddenly the flavors are greatly improved. I must be sure to season my diet with myself more often.

Eventually the monotony of eating grows dull and my tongue scabs over, forcing me to seek other avenues for expending my mortal existence. I discern that satiating thirst is a generally good option following a dry meal, though I don't truly recognize the need, it is not the first time I seem unable. Does a bird recognize the need to fly, or does it just open up its wings?
I have no wings, but I open up my mouth amid the flow of the nearest stream. It washes down my gullet in large pulls that tremble down my throat with every swallow. I watch as I guzzle the dance of unnatural light upon the water's top. Vibrant blues and Fluorescent greens twirl in the ripples my wriggling lips cause, providing a distorted heartbeat of light upon the river. It occurs to me then that the light, sourced from the bizarre new trees that seem more like a fungus growth, are as natural as anything. It is an instinct to deem them not simply because they are strange and new, but it is from the earth they have taken root and to the sky they stretch, same as any foliage.

Who am I to call something unnatural?

Who are you?
