Paper Weight

Clumsy, I should think
Out of breath, in breath
In and out of the blue
Not as see through - transparent as
The tinted glass table top
Where slumbers a bird of rare metal
My father's father's costly ornament
Gift ungiven, but received, rain
When it falls, with it
Wind, Shaking China
Ink blotted babies
pinned by the new anchor.
