On Birds Singing

Birds

0507.2024

The restless bird in my breast

Sings the sun to set lower,

Sings to your gentle face,

Bottomless eyes,

Sings, and Singing

The bird in my blood

Sings to the moon

Sings of your  hands

And forgiving soul,

Sings of its flame -

Now in my waking dream

The bird in my body

Sings to the bird in your body

Sings you to your other half,

Sings you to your life.
