The idea of the wave being 'swallowed by birds' which will occur over the next couple of pages conflates the idea of the wave with the insect (the lacewing I have noted earlier): the 'insignificant traveller' may not make it to its destination. It may be 'swallowed by birds' or blotted out, absorbed, destroyed or perhaps 'liberated from being', by many possibilities along the way.
