Next time I wake from sleep
for keeps – from deepest, darkest
slumber – I may come back a little
bird to visit in the summer; my
quetzal pomp, green feathered
grace, singing through my hunger –
when I am gone, I may come back
your pretty bird, a wonder.

bird to visit in the summer; my
quetzal pomp, green feathered

when I am gone, I may come back
your pretty bird, a wonder.
