two poems, one lonely night

Poem

Today you are a sparrow
and I watch you
flit from twig

girl to girl you are
insufferable
in the spring

the season long
song of a mistake
I keep repeating

Circling, I was in Love

My heart makes
wide circles
like a starved
buzzard

above you
when we walk
together you look
past the clocktower

you say
this grey weather
gets to you
after all
