Why Birds

Why trees that climb and breathe and sway?
To nest the birds and clean the air.

Why books that rob the birds of homes?
Why words? For breath and wings for poems.

Why birds that swoop and soar and sing?
To prove that words aren't everything.

from Facets, 1992

Unpardon me but I relent it boldly;
For it is far ahead, if I can be sure of it,
And far it is, that my hallucination be valid,
And hallucination it is, as it should be,
And however, unlike itself, mysterious, unknown, and untested,
So it be foreseen in my tireless search.
