Life, Still
Poem by Adam Elgar   •   Photo by Zenon Toczek
 


The fact of a bird,
how it conspires with air
 
(myself earth-footed)
 
or a vessel, flute say,
svelte-stemmed, defying
gravity with containment
 
(my dry observing eye)
 
how these assume their calling
 
(their indifference is at odds
with my delight)
