Heedless of Lockdown,

words twirl on the dance floor that

once was my garden.

Drifting down the weeks,

I caught another Sunday,

but I let it go.

Take care of yourself,

as you would gentle a bird–

You are as precious.

Two collared doves grieve

in the great oak.  “Tsu cru cru”

they mourn, “Tsu cru cru?”

When you have found how

to listen, you will soon hear

music everywhere.
