Cocktails
Cocktails
Wit and Charm attend
I am established alone with a smile
Self-conscious with doubtful eyes
I choose a window for what is said
Waiting for a scene to escape
for what seems like a trial
Conversations racing nowhere
Jogging for position; Oh my aching head!
"hi" "do you think" "why yes I do"
Sleepy fill words bump the walls
Where is the common reason that drives me
to follow; to lead; to something
Maybe to gardens with weeds and leaves
Sunny reflections and birds sounding
Away to green and brown and wind and sea
Blowing, floating seeds dusting the air
Nature busy and generous with life
