POEM: Flight

Can i float?
Loop through the gilt edged leaves -
Balanced on giving branch
That bends so worried an arch -

Will you swoop, too?
Will you follow
Into stillness - is a challenge -
The descent about
The open wingspan, wide and loud -
Will the curve of you give
Lift enough to rise -
Can you swoop
Comma shaped -into dimming light
Just behind me?
