Migratory Passages
Surely, some birds dream of hands and feet,
dream they are walking silently,
slowly from place to place;
Surely, some birds imagine they are fish or otters,
some imagine standing alone in the snow;
Surely, some are poets among birds,
some without instincts in common;
Surely, some don’t sing,
some without desire,
some who wonder at the vastness of the sea;
Surely there are,
in these murmurations,
some unusual birds.
