Echolocation

Jane Zwart

After the ark came to rest, Noah launched birds 
to see whether they would ricochet back 
into his hands, vibrating with where they’d been.

As with all prayers, echolocation was both 
what his reverence demanded and what his doubt flung 
(boomerang or satellite?) over a rail into the void.
