Remnant Vision

I wonder about the birds        

who fly across 

as I’m driving, swerve 

underneath, appearing 

and disappearing like shamans

in the twinkling of eyes --

unprovable and undeniable.

What worries me is how many

moments I’ve had like that

beyond everything except 

the certainty that lingering image

of someone entering and not

re-appearing, that echo waiting

for a word that never comes

like those birds  who fly 

in front of me I see on one

but not the other side.
