A sparrow led her to him
And she braced herself
Against the spark

When he entered her doorway
His arms were filled
With loving

He began to line her nest
With all his
Best intentions

And she left her evening shadow dancing
Again and again
On his walls

They are true together
His face safe in her hands
Her name safe in his mouth
