DRIFTS
Bird sounds all shapes sometimes a swoop the news
from over the back the children’s shift a gentle waking then squabbling Quiet A
pigeon cooing other voices the wind in a rush through trees and cables The
street emptying Somewhere a vehicle reversing at length A keyboard clickety
click me talking to myself The phone me talking The drone of a small motor bike
I see dragonflies Wind chimes I see a drift of blowing blossoms A black cat
crosses someone else’s path what about my luck Laughter and a high voice Dinner
time traffic Quiet
aural illuminations!

had to be let out by way of a painting
through a window I never normally use
I put it all down to the heat
