Nonsense at Night

And indeed, there will be time to wonder

Do I dare and do I dare count the birds

Again and again?

Are there birds where I will be?

Will the birds fly to me?

Will I know what I see?

Counting birds like counting crows                                  

It’s all in the way it goes

Should I learn to like this thing?

Will it take me over, make me sing?

I am counting all the time,

So often there’s not time to rhyme.

I missed my poem, I missed my song

and now the birds will sing along,

The bottom line, at least for me

when you’re tired, don’t write poetry!
