RETURN

  Two melancholy blackbirds
  Moping on a maple limb
  At cold November's dawn.
  Both-themselves together
  For once in raucous song
  Lift up their heads,
  And sit quite complacently
  Riding the windy waves
  And eyeing the cold world blatantly
  Until the icy blast of reality
  Disperses all the hoary clouds.
 Then both take flight
 Far off into their separate ways again .
. The sparrow
 Lands and looks about .
. Then he.too, flies away.
 I found him the next day-
 Fiying low, and searching
 Over a vacant countryside.

                 TRINITY-MY WAY

    Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub:
    God, Man, and Beelzebub.
