My heart in hiding, stirred for a bird – Gerard Manley Hopkins
as dreams migrate
the quote of a poet
flits at first ray
to awakening mind.
it wings its way
through the sky
to the heart’s nest.
feeds me beak to beak
the ingested worm of words.
I drink from her
splashed feather breast
dew carried through the air.
in a flutter of breath
on the precipice edge
slaked, I chirp, twitter, coo
the Lauds of first light.
