Sparrows mate for life
they say
Creatures lacking the sentience
that we are said to possess
Did you imagine that for us?
Under the lies of work and travel
You would come to me
Devour me
For a night
For an hour
And return to your brood
Spawn-less sparrow that I am
Wondering if I could keep you
With a hatchling of my own.
