have you ever heard a single bird sing
“I never want to fall in love again”?
the 360-degree broadcast of intent
the purity of tone
and whole-body vibrato
proves what it’s looking for
not a plea for attention
from a tiny audience
or just a song of joy
but to pound sound waves
that smash onto the ears of many
until one airmails a return
perhaps a short greeting to close
the gap on their echoes
and include instructions
to meet on the bridge
above that fast moving
river of need
