Listening to the birds sing
I drink my morning coffee
I will not finish.
I wrestle my thoughts
calming them down the way
a teacher tries to get
1st graders attention
“Shhhhh, if everyone speaks
all at once, no one will be heard.”
“I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.” – Joan Didion
