That fluffy squirrel suddenly has something human to tell me. That butterfly has settled next to me not by mere chance. A bird looks at me with an eye I know. The thrush's cry warns me against killing time. How do I know that silence dropping from the owl's mouth? The grimace of a tired lioness from behind too?human bars. The dog's freedom of whole nations how trustingly it looks into my eyes. That wolf's howl. The moth's suicide. A friend must be calling for my help. That moment clutches me suddenly and pounds my heart against cool air. |
