Little Sparrow Oh So Cold So Cold


I heard the little sparrow say today:
You cried when I was still alive
you cried when I died
of hypothermia
I will remember you with your warm hand
around my cold feathered body.
You tenderly breathed all warmth to me
as for a time my eyes were open.

Now again, we fly free with apricity*.
*Apricity
- warmth of winter sun on back - or face
- from 1600 
- a gardener's word, chirped by a little bird!!
