MY LIFE

Now
Here
This moment
Is what my life,
That unbidden miracle,
Is,

Standing
On the deck,
Leaning
Against the 4×4
Where we hung the feeder
Outside the kitchen window

As the chickens and turkeys
Rustle through leaves
Under the maple tree
Picking up bugs
And pieces of corn

On this warm fall day
Just as the sun sets
On this pretty blue planet
Right here
Right now
