how to kill a sparrow - andy steel lyrics

[verse]
under the parabola of a ball
a child turning into a man
i looked into the air too long
the ball fell in my hand, it sang
in the closed fist: open open
behold a gift designed to k!ll
now in my dial of gl-ss appears
the soldier who is going to die
he smiles, and moves about in ways
his mother knows, habits of his
the wires touch his face: i cry
now. death, like a familiar, hears
and look, has made a man of dust
of a man of flesh. this sorcery
i do. being d-mned, i am amused
to see the centre of love diffused
and the wave of love travel into vacancy
how easy it is to make a ghost
the weightless mosquito touches
her tiny shadow on the stone
and with how like, how infinite
a lightness, man and shadow meet
they fuse. a shadow is a man
when the mosquito death approaches
