SPARROW

SPARROW

It’s not the wind that lacerates
Not the wind that barks or howls.
The wolf at the door is a sullen soul.
I hear the whispering wings of owls
And feel the game that macerates,
The long trackless night like a hole
In the sky that drains the day of light.
What was big within is put to flight.
Where have you gone little sparrow?
Without you, dark is the way, and narrow.
