He wraps the sparrow in a cloth
to keep it still
snips the netting carefully
from its foot
proves big hands
can be both strong
and gentle.
For A River of Stones

About Me
- Catherine
- She tried hard to be like the others/she struggled to catch a ball/she never quite managed a cartwheel/after much practice she stood on her head./When she grew up she turned to science/she thought she would turn the world upside down/after a while she realised that the world had stayed in its proper place all along/and she was still standing on her head.
