for Tony
- to know a poet who knows a blackbird and a blackbird who knows a poet
- they say swifts never stop flying while the blackbird stops to rest
- getting old multiplies the shadows that cross the eye or is it the blackbird?
- you thought you knew your territory inside out; that was before the blackbird
- there are mornings without a blackbird
- the female of the blackbird is brown
-------
- in a dream I met two men but neither had heard of the blackbird
- he would find himself and not an image; blackbird flying back and forth
- there are only a few kinds of blackbirds but the dog my neighbor walks is one of many
- a blackbird is to exalt
- where two mountains meet at Hakone lake, the wings of the blackbird
- blackbird whistling from the four-cornered world
-------
- if the hoopoe knows how to read, so does the blackbird
- at Bezekelik, between two streams, the flute player was a blackbird
- undeniably, Keith Jarrett is a blackbird
- between the bell and the drum, where is the blackbird?
- today, the blackbird flew out of the corner of my eye
- the blackbird called 'reverie'
-------
- at Simiane, where the blackbird crossed the lavender field, savory scales the tower
- full moon and blackbird
- blackbird with silver cufflinks at Shakespeare & Co., Paris, 1938... even if... this is the season for pears...
- the blackbird that sings for the girl from Herzlake sings for the woman in indigo blue
- unaware of the blackbird, she sees a Chinese lamp with red fringes
- the shadow of the blackbird, the loop of the whistling game
