Observance (poem)

Picture
​This morning
A crow
His intentions so convicted
Barked through the open summer window
To make me want to ask
What has got you so rankled?
 
This afternoon
A trumpet’s waves
Came through the woods
Not like my noise
Eloquent
Fitting with the breeze
Copacetic
Shadows flickered through the canopy
Like a jazz syncope
It makes you agree
 
The trumpet and the crow
Remind me of what could have been
I will never blow a
True note
Nor fly
 
The trumpet and the crow
Remind me of what is
I observe the way
I sing and fly with them

    Author

    Matty Adams (born Matt Stinchfield), 9th generation English colonist living on ancestral lands of Abenaki peoples. A person who writes prose and poetry, non-fiction (even if you don't believe it is true). Let us not define beings by the things they do, but by the love they bring.​ ​Please do not confuse my work as a definition of me.

    ust, I am a pine tree and I live on a hill.
