Duck

he sits on the roof
of the building opposite
I sit on the sofa
glimpsed from the window; 
him with his feathers
me with my skin; 
themes tune
and blossom falls
from trees
like plates don't fall
out of the cupboard
and we could go on
like that for hours
such
was the relationship
we had

Ah, wonderful exchange of visual here. I like the way this relationship is described. I sometimes wish I had feathers!
