Two birds in a beautiful exchange, necks intertwined, bound together. One snow white, hard to pin down flagellating mercury, amorphous milk glistens as its spilt. plucked feathers of the other, crimson red, dry heat melt into one another. Biting chuncks they go till both have reached absolute consumption, fully devoured, milk and blood homogenize. Forgoing self both birds materialize as a new entity, first into a dove then a phoenix.
