Sometimes I sit in the garden and do nothing but listen
to whoever is around, wonder at their busyness, contemplate
infinity or the spinning of a spider. Enough for a quiet afternoon …
RUMOURS 
a party of blue jays
descends on hazel-nut trees
while I listen to the gossip
from a murder of crows
yellow finches at the feeder
a meandering trail of ants
while the busyness of flies
disturbs my relaxed afternoon
