Bells

knell deep

in the cool air

where

a plane

and a sparrow

narrow

space

that

soon

isn't enough

for the wind

or a car.

_______

Hear

a river

widen,

course

west.

Locks open. 

Voices,

doors

shudder.

____________

A

thrush

shows 

how,

with just a flicker,

she quickens

time,

opens

it

again.
