Sparrow carries away the souls of the dead.
Sparrow brings the souls of the soon to be born.
Sparrow circled three times as I walked.
I stopped walking and Sparrow flew away.
Sparrow circled three times at chest level.
I stopped breathing and Sparrow flew away.
Sparrow circled three times slowly, wrapping me with invisible string.
I stopped unraveling and asked Sparrow if she’d stay.
Sparrow is Aphrodite’s bird.
True love and spiritual connection.
I spin myself tighter inside Sparrow’s string cocoon.
Sparrow says keep walking.
Sparrow says keep breathing.
Life and death and love.
Sparrow says they’re all the same.
