Sparrow

 

 
 
Love was the beautiful bread you baked.

Now all you have left are the crumbs.

Go on,

Lay them outside your door.

 

A sparrow needs but a few morsels

To survive the long winter;

 





Pandemonium

 

From the cauldron of eternity

We were given time,

Brief, borrowed, and not our own;

 

Just a few years, some summers,

A fistful of brief hours

In the light of the dying sun;

 

And we, in all our wisdom,

Have made such a fine mess

Of even this gift;
