what is it, this
pale February fire-bird
?

wingtips cutting the blue,

No winter is like
the winter
we deal to ourselves
No spring is like

Are you the one onto whom
silence and dreams unfold?

( If you can let go –
can bear to wait
someone will happen
that you won’t see coming )

Downstream from here
there is a tale of sparrows fallen,
opened as dream-scape wanderers
on a weekend beyond the edge,
