Trusty Valentine

That birds are comfortable

with me and can come

within unsafe distances

a few inches of intimacy

is all I ask there is so

much matter to devour

to get to that kind of thinking

they emulate in flight

and brilliant upwind leanings

now they know I know

to trust how they do it

how far they open up

to capture the light

in their bones and lift

lighter than air.
