The Wild Swan

The Wild Swan

She flipped,
	Tumbled, 
		Pirouetted,
			And blind to all,
			And in seeing no one,
Seemed to be seen by all,
	And startled,
		Raced away before I could say
		That she rose in all of her perfection
A wild swan upon the lake,
	Seen early, but in being seen, seen too late.
