Flying
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
For Li Po
In the spring
I think about
water and flying,
clear water running
over moss-covered stones.
Poets are forever,
banished from
the village,
cut loose
in order
to wander
the desert,
to fly just barely above
the juniper and salt brush.

A Short Bird
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
A
short bird
came today
to lie in the snow.
He told me
he was forgetting
how to fly
and forgot
how the sky
looked at night,
and he told me
he was forgetting
how he wanted to fly
(upside down sometimes),
and how he wanted
to sit on the top
of some tree he knew,
and he forgot forgetting there,
and the snow came
and covered his scream,
and he forgot nothing.
