Temporary

It does me little good
to remember Danny and Jack,
Hal and Ray; does me little good
to remember Angela and Brenda,
Gabrielle; does me little good
to think of Ken, either;
what does me good is to close my eyes
and listen to the twinkling outside,
some bird I cannot recognize by call;
I close my eyes and listen to a bird
over and over again and forget names
and am content for a moment;
I give this to you.

onward,
