I Saw My Spirit

I saw my spirit in the dawn, its silver
There then there – on a sparrow wing.
Shouting – Not flying so much as flexing
Its power to divide the air – Slicing
Between heartbeats unseen

I saw my soul where tiny feet invaginate.
Confess under duress of extended throat
Its force – its mass times vigor

I see its aim – in a forgotten eye
On a scene that is spread like life -
Oh! sunrise on a feather
What news you bring on a beam!
A shining bay stretches out behind -
