The chainsaw's dawn song rings out. Another slice falls from the Earth: a forest disappears, a mountaintop tumbles, and a tree in someone's yard loses a limb. When the limb is gone a pain remains, seeping from the rough cut end. Where have all the lost cats gone whose photographs are posted on local power poles? Their owners want them back, but what about the jaguars and the parrots once common in the mountains Geronimo fought to keep? Nobody offers a hundred dollars for their return. The circling hawk can't find the bough he perched on yesterday. - David Chorlton --- BIO David Chorlton came to Phoenix from Europe in 1978 with his wife Roberta, an Arizona native. He quickly became comfortable with the climate while adjusting to the New World took longer. Writing and reading poetry have helped in that respect, as has exposure to the American small presses. He and Roberta have shared their living space with many cats and birds over the years. Publications Gilded Snow (Cholla Needles, 2019) Reading T. S.
