Little Child Poem by RIC BASTASA

Little Child



when you have learned how to climb
the ylang-ylang tree
you finally find the nest of the brown sparrow
and you come to me
bringing four tiny eggs

do you not see two sparrows perched
on a branch?
do you not hear them singing their own
funeral hymn?

sorry, i am out of touch.
