And There

.

That’s when my head turned:

Nothing to silence a breath

Or darkness to stifle horizons.

.

That’s how This summer came.

No Swainson’s spirals,

Just weird birds

Calling from afar,

After some punk rain set it all back

for a few weeks.

And gave me a do over.

.

This: after the clothesline came out

And the sureties of old, stale days

reappeared on the agenda,

For another try.
