Unreachable and distant


whirling down songbird


her glance was only
for when I passed ;

she already had such an
Etruskian rider
of soft isolated concrete-
easy to purchase
and warm in winter-

while I, a poor Spartan,
just roamed with
a god or two
following in my wake
to inspire
her way of singing

and teach her to chant

though I personally am more
like the sound
when the lark warbles
in the meadow.
