Plumage

today is a morning that may
last all today

there are birds making hello in the purpleflower trees that drop sap

and i am considering what to do with a day off of work.

there are pancakes to be had somewhere out there
buttercovered and syrupful

and then make certain to take deep breaths
because i have the time and god knows when
i will find someone in my life sick or sad

that will need
my shoulders
that will need
my proximity

save up your self in your idle moments
because idleness is fleeting
and when you least expect
something, then is when
it just may
happen.
