poem : the call

the sky was born in anticipation of our people

the sky was born for us
fresh creation


I watch birds now, communicating through movement,
look now, a flock making circles in the courtyard,
landing then skittering off again.

across the evening sky, a smaller flock approaching
joining the larger one

one bird, perched in the high trees, calls out


the sky, flaked in orange and purple
the sky, a beacon for our approach.
