Too featureless and without context And without footing, my world— Too boundless, too white, Too airy and unfurled. How Godly, how Kingdom of Heaven, How inscrutable and chaste— How vanished are the paths here Crossing at this place. All subject and no object and All feeling and no view, all dying— Or intent on death—until you, A common starling. Soil-black and star-speckled and Jeweled with morning dew— Risen as the morning sapphire and The light she brings with you. Stay awhile and shimmer and Sing atop the cherry— Don’t fly away, don’t set just yet. Show your life to me. Come here, come up from nothing. Come here, come down, fall through. Bend your wings and murmur with me— We make a family, we two.
