Ordinary Morning
this morning it’s the common
birds i love the most:
plain brown wren,
the simple sparrow,
backyard birds,
everyday beauty,
that song
i heard her sing
hanging laundry in the sun,
the sweet light that falls
on a sink full
of last night’s dishes.
these days
i don’t need
transcendence.
what grace could there be
beyond
this ordinary morning?
a hummingbird sips from the feeder.
spinning and swaying
in the breeze
that joins us all,
one more leaf falls
onto the beautiful
back porch
which needs sweeping.
