Nearsightedness

What do you mean you didn’t see the hummingbird rush past your face so close your bangs moved?

Or the finch stand at the dry center of a cornflower pulling its drawers for seeds, or the young seagulls kettling,

Each its own circle, catching bugs like its Bug Day. I know difficulty exposes lack of wisdom, but also

Do you want to see the long, fierce mind, generous and eager to give it? The one who made a flute, and put feathers around it, and made it sing?
