Day 191 of Year 2 (Actually Day 196)

More birds but the imagery is evolving.

One Heart
By Li-Young Lee

Look at the birds. Even flying
is born

out of nothing. The first sky
is inside you, open

at either end of day.
The work of wings

was always freedom, fastening
one heart to every falling thing.
