Nerves
nerves know the visitor
can feel the lassitude the call
the sudden song.
soul sees the inner
movement will
thought tries description fails
the mind wincing at
a platitude which could startle
the tenth time
in well-kept yards fenced sprayed
the easy certainties unchallenged
wait for the visitor
to trample break stifling
air so trees crash
and fly lyrical
