Mark Reep
Small Awakenings
All this winding way we walk
was once a dream,
a small awakening:
A door where there was none before,
a glimpse beyond
of what might, still might be.
Only an eyeblink,
a brightness flaring, gone,
a scrap of song, lost on the wind-
But no, no, look:
The glass bird's wings
are fluttering.
