in a deep winter
you blew in like
the softest zephyr of spring
although I keep my hands
around your hammering heart
massaging, praying
I send you away
once the ice melts
to the grander climes
you were meant for
in a deep winter
you blew in like
the softest zephyr of spring
although I keep my hands
around your hammering heart
massaging, praying
I send you away
once the ice melts
to the grander climes
you were meant for
Tree Swallow banking
through a rush of windy current
nature’s blue chrome jet
