promised myself i would really notice today
did not notice today, really
library, office, nail salon, car
the sky was … sky
the air was … present
tomorrow though, i hear it will be warm
***
the arresting sound
proved to be a starling, starlings
on the telephone lines and under the eaves
in the bushes, too
by the warbling
i tried to count and could not
and the next small thing
pulled me on my way
