.
A seam opens
in the traffic
flow I
hear this
mockingbird in my
backyard
and when it's gone
Satie
played by
Shearing
on an antique FM
drifting
down through yellow plum
leaves
against the blue rush
hour sky

Satie!
Beautiful...
Well, it's not Shearing but...it's 5 P.M.:
Satie for Lanny and Lucy
I think that Satie goes very well with your later Elephant post, too...
Lovely poem, and the mockingbird photo is amazingly good.
Zeph,
The bird is pretty common here, and a lovely, confident, varied, constant singer.

lovely...
such moments are eternity...
Yes, they are best definition, don't you think?
I think you should send your poem 5 p.m. to the poetry mag 5 a.m. to publish! Send everything else to me--Sue Ann Simar, Editor, 10x3 plus
