The Song I Heard Yesterday
I heard an old song
of a bird yesterday
an ancient bird
proportionate figure
discoloured
feeble at wings
music discorded.
A halt turned me to see it
A fossil turned me to see it
A songbird which I met yesterday
A song which I met yesterday
turned me to halt and feel
the beauty of truth
among the changes.
