Today
I watched a flag of birds wave
high above the front window of my car
high above the front window of my car
They were a lifetime away from me
and they seemed so beautiful and distant I
had to stop and see
Car idle
Car idle
paused on driveway
the old letter box sighing beside,
the old letter box sighing beside,
its ‘no advert s ng mat r ls’ peeled into a
scramble of once
words and the driveway lifting up
because of the willow root
because of the willow root
My children inside
waiting for me to be home again.
waiting for me to be home again.
