For a Bird

Evening willow calls
Low across the brambling sand 
A bird cries alone

Sunset bids farewell
To the moaning surf and bar
A gull flies through dark

The sky no sound makes
With thunder or wind or plane
Promise of us gone

Evening willow calls
To moaning surf at the bar
I to distant star

Let night comes silent
Then, and heart waves be so still
A bird flies alone
