stirred

"What good is cancer in April?" -- Lou Reed

unruly my bones
ring together stirred

on my clothes line
five or six sets of chimes blow
and a whirligig or two goes too
set in the earth by the garden
pinwheels and fans

unruly my bones

Jon was spared in the last round
of layoffs but says he felt the breeze
of the axe, as it passed him
by

Chris' MRI came back, clean

and my bones
ring together stirred unseen
like a baby moves in the belly
impatient with spring

The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it,

but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.

-- John 3:8
