Corresponding With Herons And Sonny Rollins

Left the radio on
when I fell asleep.

Woke before dawn
to Sonny Rollins.

Ah, so this is why
I corresponded all night
with herons!

No,
that must have been a dream.

But I remember them!
I remember eagerly awaiting
letters, and writing
back.

No, that was a dream,
or you are imagining it…

then Sonny says,
who you gonna believe?
Go back to sleep,
this argument will keep;

I’ll play a lullaby.
A song to fly by.
