mort mot juste

limegreen birds touch you lightly

i wish to write to you
a poem of little weight.
or a letter, one that could rest
upon your left shoulder
without your noticing.
a small, slender
black-winged sparrow
clothed in green.
i'd love to hand you
the unspeakable
not a promise but
a touch of gain and destination,
not a stir in the atmosphere
but rather the west wind himself
adorned with emphatically no,
and with lace, and fish scales.
instead i trade these few words
for a moment of regard, a fine
cord of tenderness
a score of zero,
taking hold of fingers
in a summer storm
