on my way home, driving
from the movie--i saw
so many crows
clustered on the wire
they seemed to know how much
i was feeling alone; their crackling
caw filled me with temporary joy
like seltzer after popcorn
returning to my abode
my cats greeted me with nudges
&, "where've ya been mom" faraway
glances--enough to slap guilt on my cold skin
green tea, chamber music, and darkness
setting in for the evening--why does this
evening in of itself wrap my heart in both
an edge of sadness and an inevitable joy
