Birds You Cannot See |
| There are birds in the darkness that douse electrical fires |
| Flaring up in nursing homes and the bedrooms of blind men |
| Birds you cannot see |
| There are birds in the darkness who nest in wooden crutches |
| Eye patches and bandages, broken spinal columns |
| And pots of winter plants |
| Birds you cannot see |
| Filling every tree |
| Falling out of closets |
| And perched on the hands of dying men |
| There are birds in the darkness who lead lost dogs off highways |
| Steer boats past icebergs, save children stuck in wells |
| Birds you cannot see |
| There are birds in the darkness seen by those with tumors |
| Circling common light bulbs with blue-feathered halos |
| And the sound of rain |
| Birds you cannot see |
| Filling every tree |
| Falling out of closets |
| And perched on the hands of dying men |
