Loons (the bird kind) mate for life. They are the symbol of communication in Indian lore. This is about a loon not so faithful and hence has chosen a life always mourning their mate without understanding it was meant to live a life with one faithful loon whom he has discarded.

…mournful loon
it is you that has
drifted
—away from
still waters
and
moonlit togetherness….
mournful loon why do you search,
why do you groan,
until the morning light—
—were it not for your
free-will—
all waters are faithful
to bring back
your life-time mate….
mournful loon
i hear you calling
but
i’m where i should be
and you are where
you said
you wouldn’t….
….mournful loon…..
