Got a Little

buzz in my head
and it ain’t from---you know

just the way my wife
turns a corner
in her tight jeans

and the way a mother sparrow
lines up her young ‘uns
shifting feathers and
mouth open for a feed

or the way the rains come
callin’ with a swish and a roar
tumbling across my
roof with a song of natural
dimension

and I close my eyes
images nestled within –
another day
another time to inhale the wind.
