Stone on my path
perhaps? But a sparrow
side-lain, staring.
The flight quite swift
arrow-taut toward water
fooled its foolish heart.
How could pea-eyes
know traps between air
and sky could seem nothing?
Tiny hearts spurt, sighting
their longing: to a sweet sparrow
wings on water.
Flitting straight on,
heart on wings
the water a beak within —
but glass
is also water.
