Bird
that a bird-spirit inhabits me:
if you rest your palm
upon my breastbone,
very lightly, you will sense
the wild bird in my heart
begin to sing…
Long ago, our ancestors
so wanted to emulate
the blithe aubades,
the complex and melodious
exchange of birds,
they learned to make songs,
speak in tongues,
fashion music out of words.
When you leave
it will be lonely,
desolate at first:
the bird in my chest
will begin to wail softly,
like a curlew left behind
when its new-found friend,
not deigning to stay
until spring’s bitter end,
migrates early…
