today soft-raining
not a day to wrestle words
spring awakening
a thin tree
2 slim wires
electric, prone to brown outs
telephone, party line:
1 for him
1 for us
1 ring for him
2 rings for us
or the
other way
around?
6-4610
1958
no
calls
now
colorful birds burst
from hidden places
among the branches
soar across the water
hover to savor
and absorb
all that they see:
showering joy . . .
unbeknownst
to them.
