"Birds?"
Opaque Watercolor, 22K Gold on Calfskin
3.5 x 2"
SOLD

Birds? Birds?
Is there only one bird in the world
Flying with a thousand wings
Singing in innumerable trillings, always alone?
Are land and sea mirrors?
Is air a mirror of air
And does the great unique bird
multiply it solitude in myriad appearances?
Is that why we call it birds?
Or maybe there isn't one bird?
And are they fatal plural immense like the sea?
A numberless band, a surge of wings
Where one seeks a vision, and the soul wants to separate
the truth of that one lone bird from its unending essence
From the one handsome bird?
