Let's look for birds | B |
The tall iron branches | C |
in the forest | D |
The dense | E |
fertility on the ground | F |
The world | G |
is wet | H |
A dewdrop or raindrop | I |
shines | J |
a diminutive star | K |
among the leaves | L |
The morning time | M |
mother earth | N |
is cool | O |
The air | P |
is like a river | Q |
which shakes | R |
the silence | S |
It smells of rosemary | T |
of space | U |
and roots | V |
Overhead | W |
a crazy song | X |
It's a bird | Y |
How | A |
out of its throat | Z |
smaller than a finger | Q |
can there fall the waters | A2 |
of its song | X |
Luminous ease | B2 |
Invisible | C2 |
power | Q |
torrent | D2 |
of music | E2 |
in the leaves | L |
Sacred conversations | F2 |
Clean and fresh washed | G2 |
is this | H2 |
day resounding | I2 |
like a green dulcimer | Q |
I bury | T |
my shoes | J2 |
in the mud | K2 |
jump over rivulets | J2 |
A thorn | L2 |
bites me and a gust | D |
of air like a crystal | C2 |
wave | M2 |
splits up inside my chest | N2 |
Where | P |
are the birds | J2 |
Maybe it was | J2 |
that | O2 |
rustling in the foliage | P2 |
or that fleeting pellet | Q2 |
of brown velvet | Q2 |
or that displaced | R2 |
perfume That | O2 |
leaf that let loose cinnamon smell | S2 |
was that a bird That dust | D |
from an irritated magnolia | T2 |
or that fruit | U2 |
which fell with a thump | V2 |
was that a flight | W2 |
Oh invisible little | C2 |
critters | J2 |
birds of the devil | C2 |
with their ringing | I2 |
with their useless feathers | J2 |
I only want | X2 |
to caress them | Y2 |
to see them resplendent | D2 |
I don't want | X2 |
to see under glass | J2 |
the embalmed lightning | I2 |
I want to see them living | I2 |
I want to touch their gloves | J2 |
of real hide | Z2 |
which they never forget in | A3 |
the branches | J2 |
and to converse with | B3 |
them | Y2 |
sitting on my shoulders | J2 |
although they may leave | C3 |
me like certain statues | J2 |
undeservedly whitewashed | G2 |
Impossible | C2 |
You can't touch them | Y2 |
You can hear them | Y2 |
like a heavenly | T |
rustle or movement | D2 |
They converse | J2 |
with precision | D3 |
They repeat | E3 |
their observations | J2 |
They brag | F3 |
of how much they do | G3 |
They comment | H3 |
on everything that exists | J2 |
They learn | I3 |
certain sciences | J2 |
like hydrography | C3 |
and by a sure science | J2 |
they know | J3 |
where there are harvests | J2 |
of grain | K3 |
