two in hand
see there the man in the bush
what could he possibly want
with a bird in hand
in broader light
the bird could be nothing
but two stones
talkative & strikingly glossy
one in each hand
he releases them to the gods
like the whitest of doves
forever bound to the firmament
occasionally returning to earth
november two thousand twenty
