Light Shows
A sparrow flew across a low pale sun,
its speeding shadow covered the world.
I have seen a crow swallow the moon,
watched, from the top of a mountain,
a high eagle fly under a clear blue lake,
or a racing river
fall under a rain cloud.
We can see a lot
if we set our brains to note
what the light does,
how it tricks us into
not thinking
about the actual size
of sparrow bones.
