Here is a bird's breastbone, 
 the keel of a ship scrubbed clean 
 
of its cargo2 and rigging, its rib3 cage 
 laid bare in this harbor of grasses. 
 
Each morning the sun finds it 
 and bleaches4 it into a basket 
 
the snail5 sleeps in, no longer 
 robin or finch6, but a shelter 
 
for beetles7 or worms. Now I place it 
 carefully in the garden 
 
to lie among asters and dahlias 
 who drink from the sky it fell from 
 
and sing without throats or voices 
 and flutter and preen8 without feathers 
 
and fly in the winds of October 
 and die and go back to the loam9.
