Sunday, November 26, 2023 “First Light” by Patrick Hulsman
A poet who lives
on your street
is writing you the
secrets of birdsShe tends to her hostas
in the evenings
on your street
is writing you the
secrets of birdsShe tends to her hostas
in the evenings
awaits the first
hoarse clicks of the
cicadas
walks past your porch
in the morning before
you awaken
