1.

a small bird alighted

upon a thick branch

just outside my window

it jumped a little way up

cocked its head to one side

and then suddenly vanished

beyond the frame of the window sill

ephemeral little entity

bringing a momentary bit of joy

just through the window pane

different realities

briefly colliding

in meeting together

common understanding imparted

through the window

of my mind's eye

through the pane

of fragile, transparent glass

unity in nature

momentarily beheld

and then

vanished
