Sometimes I Think That Clouds And Trees Are Enough

sometimes I think that clouds and trees are enough.
the wind. a dazzle of birds.
when you're tired of making things up

to entertain yourself or keep from
thinking of things you'd rather not.
it's good to see them still there.

everywhere. clouds and trees.
and in the yards their shadows blow
as well

and it is well to gaze on clouds and trees
to feel the wind again.
the freshness of all this.

the evergreeness.
