The Long Meadow

...This is the final illusion,
the one to which all the others lead.
He has to pierce through it himself, without divine assistance.
He will take a long time about it,

and said they had been found as thoughts
inside the brains of fish...

A Poem Written for the Aviary
at a Time of Its Possible Closing

...in the hold of light,
They nest upon girders or wade
Through the waters of pools

Cloud-banked with shadows.
We find them choiring in branches,
in rookeries and dovecotes

Of the upturned ark of glass.
