ODE TO A BROWN PAPER BAG
there it lies, folded at the creases,
crisp, neat lines lay on the kitchen counter;
shall i unfold it, expand it, open it
to sounds of morning; filling it with
a din of twitterings,
i mean to cram all those birdsongs into
a brown paperbag; so vast this ideal
of a dawning sky, where does one begin
to draw rainbows? where does the dark
of night hang his obsidian coat?
it peters out, the earliest din;
so the opened brown paper bag
now stands on the kitchen counter
seemingly empty

I threw away a brown paper bag today with a sense of regret that I had no further use for it.
ReplyDeletehappy about the sense of regret

ReplyDeletehappy you dropped in Rosemary

Sitting here in my quiet morning kitchen, now I'm pining to bag up the birdsong and take it with me to work later. You know, instead of a sandwich. :)
ReplyDelete(◕‿◕。) so glad you dropped by Marian

Not too much good happens in the dark, does it? I like Gillena, that you are recognizing that in Mother Nature's world, not even birds sing in the dark (or most of them don't).
