August 25

What a momentous act
to fold the shirt

and to place it
in the wardrobe

and such a long
long time

since I’ve had
such latitude

so why do I go
about thin-voiced

bird-ish asking
may I may I may I 

befuddled but
like some happier Kafka

I seem to have woken
up with wings

 

 

[again thank you all for kind comments– looking forward to catching up on them shortly!]
