SILVARITO
A small, sparrow-like bird in the
Andes,
with a beautiful song that ends in a trill.
Silvarito on the windowsill, pecking
at the glass repeatedly, uselessly,
for days, for hours each day. He flees
even my shadow, but returns again.
A neighbor says he’s looking for
insects in the wood. But no -- he
grips the wood frame with his feet
and hammers the glass with his beak.
Neither he nor his mate (who takes
turns with him) seem to understand
this mystery -- something you can see
through but can't enter -- like the history
of any war, or a clear, indifferent fact
that has no use for the breath-filled body.
Jennifer Burd & Laszlo Slomovits, Ann Arbor, Michigan
