Bird I should have flown
driven, walked, crawled
back to my beloved's door
to sit upon the threshold
and sing a hundred songs of love
I sent you in my stead
fearing the loss of everything
sitting on the path
my beloved had crossed
Your song did not reach the ear
the light bounded out of
the windows
reflecting you
my memory washed away
my beloved mourning me gone
Bird no sweetness
could pierce the heart
as one word
falling from my beloved's tongue
Diving in midair
only to be caught again
rising above
breathed into my dreams
I lay at the doorway
one hundred thousand prayers
I utter the wind
that carries you.
