I always have a notebook and pen

tucked into my back pocket

because we all know by now

that intangible pens don’t speak

and the mute songbirds are

always the prettiest we could

encounter. Darling, there’s always

a poem nestled in our bones

and even coffee is not enough

to free it from ourselves when

morning is not even awake

or alive enough to jog us into motion.
