| Painting by Martina Hoffmann |
it is perhaps also true
that nothing happens to them quite like what happens to us
when the blue-backed swallow dips swiftly toward the green pond
and the pond’s green-and-blue reflected swallow marries it a moment
in the reflected sky
~

too limp sometimes, I know what I didn’t know
a year ago, that makes it the right size:
owned certainty; perpetual surprise.
