The imagery is intriguing! Especially those pennies and the gaze and the withered bill. Curious and passionate.

'Heaving hearts and heavy hopes.' this is one of those lines I wish was mine, getting to read it as yours is just as good though.

Very nice, David! I like the brokenness of the lines and how they go together; has a nice organic kind of a feel to it.
