Today I will capture
the bird of myself,
I will see my colored feathers...
        my array.

I will image it; 
is it your flourish... 
        instead of my own?

As I love you...
I will delight in each subtlety
embrace each feather...
        the gorgeous and the ugly. 

You, the most beautiful bird 
I have ever known, you will show me 
how to love these colors... 
        as I see them as my own.
