"april" by Lucille Clifton
bird and bird
over the thawing river
circling parker
waving his horn
in the air above the osprey’s
nest my child
smiling her I know something
smile their birthday
is coming they are trying
to be forty they will fail
they will fall
each from a different year
into the river into the bay
into an ocean of marvelous things
