The disappearing sparrows

I.
Listen to this poem
this is the city
my city 
which fills and overflows 
with sunlight so
that everything comes alive 

II.
I left one evening
on a plane

and carried in my heart
the song of many sparrows 
which go on

from the clouds
I saw the city lights disappear 
leaving
for a while
a longing, vanishing
in the blackening night.
