Finch and Eagle
Chief Speak-a-little-French 1980 (Calgary)
Tumbling down a hole in the earth:
Alice and her wonderland
(but that was just a mistake
of writing)
I was talking about the bushes in my garden
And the open skies
Of the lowlands;
What of it?
There is a colourful little finch
in the shrubs of my garden
There is a majestic eagle
(they that live here call Chipungu)
A self-contained buttress against
The blue heavens
