Just when you seem to yourself
nothing but a flimsy web
of questions, you are given
the questions of others to hold
in the emptiness of your hands,
songbird eggs that can still hatch if you keep them warm,
butterflies opening and closing
in your cupped palms, 
trusting you not to injure their scintillant fur, their dust.
You are given the questions of others 
as if they were answers
to all you ask. Yes, perhaps 
this gift is your answer.
