the sparrow with specs

as she spoke
of sylvia and mark strand,
larkin
and levine, wallace stevens
and frost,
standing
at the front of the class,
the chalk board behind her.
she was like
a sparrow
with specs.
brown winged and fragile.
but holding the keys
to my heart,
my hands,
my mind,
my chosen profession
of doing this.
