At home
my aimless mind
writes poemless lines.
Homeless under
trees or sky,
my lines take aim
to fly.

Phoebe

Phoebe never says a word.
She darts about my day, unheard.
She watches, jet-eyed, from her perch
silent as a nun in church.
In her somber habit, hale;
gray-black hood, flicking tail.
Confiding, clement, on her nest;
I like my sweet friend Phoebe best.
