I listen to instrumentals
to help the wooing
as much the mourning
an overload of that to be sure.
I watched a gathering of sparrows,
and thought of bird-feeders
to gather more,
and then I imagined you again
I will seemingly reach,
unless this is a provocation,
that isn’t my intent
only to wish compassion
I listened to melodies today,
I wished might I hear a dove.
