CLEAR SOUND

Cold spring morning remembering

fewer birds now but their songs ring out

through the mist and the young leaves

that have never seen anywhere else

the songs rise out of themselves knowing the way

no words for before and after

and the singers nowhere to be seen

GARDEN MUSIC

In the garden house

the digging fork and the spade

hanging side by side on their nails

play a few notes I remember

that echo many years

as the breeze comes in with me

out of the summer light

they know the notes by now

so well that the music

seems to be going on

all by itself in the shade

of the roof I made for them

half my life ago

and I see the garden now

far away in itself

reflected in the polished spade

as a place I have never been

while the music goes on

echoing the days
