Two Birds in a Tree
A large bird alights
on a small branch
at the top of a poplar tree.
He bounces and wavers in the breeze,
keeping his balance.
Such is human life.
Another bird alights
on a small branch
very near the first one.
Both bounce and waver in the breeze,
but in different rhythms.
Such is married life.
