5-6 My Hands Listen

what you need most,
my crazy little sparrow,

is

to hold still,
quiet,
in the palm,
of my hand,
where I hold you,

not a song,
or a note,
or a tune from,
your feathers shake,

in a song,
and a note,
from a tune,
in your eyes awake,

held, still,
in the quiet,
of the palm,
of my hand,
where I listen,

to you,
my crazy little sparrow,
sing.
