"Bird in Space" by Constantin Brancusi
MANGROVE
After being submerged in the Gulf,
I bring to the house, a companion,
A mangrove seed, shaped like a Brancusi Bird.
This green bird flies through
the corridors of my mind.
It perches on the limbs of trees
I keep inside my body, sings
A song like the song of a green finch.
