Thirteen glimpses of a blackbird, among snowy mountains, in a tree with the wind, in the mind of a man and a woman, each a different way of seeing, until the bird sits in the cedar at evening and the looking itself is the subject.

Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing Was the eye of the black bird.
