The Sign

The sign, at the base of the metal bird sculpture, read:

Rising up of silken ashes
As sparks from which we came
Our sky is a circle
A never ending flame
Though darkness of night
Our fires
The same
Which suggests this bird is a phoenix.

A closer view of one of the metal phoenix's wing. Note how the metal was stained to resemble rust or fire.
