tornado


the slightest change in breeze

can make the pidgeons up high unfreeze

a cacophony, an orchestra

to hear the collective migration swaying in the trees

and allowing the tugging wisps to subside


as I sit against a worn oak bench

I wonder if this bush can feel

this gift the world has grown for us

under this feeling it provides

I could nod off to a fantail singing another melody
