Whirligig # 351

the hush of late night

plaintive sound 

of a dove lost

 

morning

we wake to

a cacophany of bird calls 


tips of new leaves

appear in the pot plant

in the hallway

how is this possible

no one waters it 

maybe a good sign

 

 the invisible monster

makes note of today's numbers

entering the valley of death

let's hope God hears our prayers


THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "For the New Year" by W.S. Merwin: valley, dove, appear, leaves, hush, sound, hears, hopes, invisible, possible, tips, calls
