One Bird (Theme Of Everything's Everything)
By: Steven Ilchev, 2012
Not a moment too soon,
that hot-air balloon
of what we call ours,
the flight of loving's herons,
would take off
and off, it heralds the map of
vineyard routes on a day
so unshackled
So promising forthwith,
so taken with bubbles
forever blown
and expressed on a canvass
by sharers unknown
of the undeniable unsettling
down there where dots join
and adjourn all the fretting
Binocular wishbones,
the shooting of stars,
champagne supernova
and blizzards, mudslides
defining and rummaging whatever
it seems,
beachwalk-aiding bagpipes
theme-crawling union of dreams
And when it all replays for aeons unforeseen,
it all elucidates all that has been
so whole, so rewarding, the picture of you,
the soulmate whose soothing effect hollers true!
