taken by surprise
by all the colors
November hasn’t
hopping here along
a gray fence rail
a warbler I don’t
know moving too quick
to see more than that
this little I see
can be just enough

that the birds sing and
I cannot understand is
just fine and even
more knowing everything is
not anything to be desired

the same as pure life,
the same as pure fire,
you’ll see the glowing ember.

que es igual a pura vida,
que es igual a puro fuego,
Veréis el ascua encendida.

I know about a bulbul
they’re everywhere
but what if thinking of them
I think of someone what then

let the bulbuls be
common as they are atop
trees poles wires singing
see them light-vented like love
how they color everything
