Tree Spark

Tree spark,
watching the red-winged blackbird
sail to the east,
its warbling song
like a raven I once heard in the desert.
Tree spark,
do you see me?
Holding my hands up to you,
stringing down your spirit
the way rain falls into a river,
the way moonlight falls in cupped palms
and is drunk
like springwater?
