The Girl and The Bird

Flitter here, Little bird.

I see you dart
in canopy
Colors
caught in sunshine.

I
upon porch swing,
my weight
borne
chain
squealing
beneath Implacable

Steely Gaze

I
chipped
marble exterior.
You,
tiny and shining
transcendent
beauty

here

then gone

then back again.

The steel
of this frame
shaped by frustrated exhaustion
holds
the blood
and sweetness
of a heart
mesmerized
by Flower

Spring

Water.

Gaze held
frozen
by the sight
of

a
shining moon.

Alone in
a street

somewhere,
amazed.

You touched
me
without
hands
and
hold me
without will.

A Singular event
that ripples
throughout the world.

A shiver
through
the glass
of a windowpane
on impact.

Perfection in Aimlessness.

Color in air.

Reveling

Sweet

Confusion.

I whisper
softly

an entreaty
that always
you be
Free
and
Joyous.
