lyrics

nonet and reverse

you lay motionless on stone tile
legs still, yellow-green wings tucked close
unseeing eyes lightly shut
russet mate by your side
hopping left to right
tipping its head
chirruping
asking
life?

 glass
a crash
no passage
reflected sky
blood flowed from your beak
stunned, you fell to stone tile
no one could explain to him
how immutable and final
would be these moments of fleeting life
