NOBODY

The solo plant on my

window sill waits for me

every evening.


A curious pigeon sits

at the same spot

and observes my tea

and reading.


Long ago Emily*

said " I am a nobody , are you a nobody too?"

Now I know

what she meant.



* a reference to Emily Dickinson.

Nobody

The solo plant on my

window sill waits for me

every evening.



A strange pigeon chooses

to sit at the same spot

to observe me have my tea

as I read.

Long ago a poet called Emily

said" I am a nobody , are you a nobody too?"

Now I know

what she meant.
