Perhaps, we were never awake - taken with Canon 500D, 2026.

Perhaps
The proud eagle embraces eternity
with a single sweep of its wings through the high air,
where only Tengri dares to breathe.
What are heat and cold, day and night,
perhaps we were never born,
perhaps we are still asleep?
The brave mountain goat never looks into the valley;
his gaze is always turned toward the open sky -
perhaps we are still unshaped clay,
perhaps only fleeting dust,
consumed by the wind of stars?
The patient mare crowns upon her back
every child of earth and faithfully carries it to death -
perhaps we are only a thought,
or, dwelling within all things, the suffering itself?
The manaschi carries within his body
the voices of those who fell silent long ago.
Perhaps we are only the sword-stroke of the batyr,
or perhaps merely a blank space in the world-epic,
humming against oblivion?
The poet is a vessel of clay,
his body the bridge that carries the ancient across -
perhaps we are only steaming blood,
echoing again within every word?
Perhaps we are only repetition,
singing back birth and death
through borrowed tongues?

These two colorful Rosella's dine at our home every morning and evening. For more than a couple of years now we have fed them and their family. They recently brought their babies to come see us.
We have named them Cheech and Chong.
Any other birds that try to feed are well and truly told to go away by this pair. Feed rights I suppose.
