CONCRETE OR BIRDSONG



would be easy to say

that
the
day
was dead

and 
that i sat there dead 

  like concrete

and
that
day is a naked and sober stale crust
dead
in
black water

but
instead
i listened and i heard
the
hum and cough of the fridge 
and
the 
whoosh of the pilot light
and
the
tiny splashes of the cat 
  drinking his water

all coming together 
pretty
as
birdsong
