“Hope” is the thing with feathers – Emily Dickinson

If I left you a feather
preserved in Burmese
amber
would you treasure

this coelurosaur’s gift
wrapped in semi-
translucent resin?
Would you

release the ferrous
traces of my blood -
hopeful of
cloning?

Or would you reject
this humble
hollow-tailed thing –
ignore me - in favour of
an angel’s token?
