relief –
the bird on our balcony
we thought dead had gone
relief –
the bird on our balcony
we thought dead had gone
An empty square in a small town
A plastic bottle in his hand
A boy is banging against a wall
a half-empty railway station
a pigeon! cries a small boy
and runs after him
a cherry tree in bloom –
eight men in dark suits pass
underneath
a huge green meadow
in the middle –
a single dandelion
underneath
revolving propellers –
cows munching in silence
