Hanging

out in the kitchen is as restorative as an arboretum, don't you think?

I bought the red wok because
it reminds me of the red wing
in a blackbird.

& the redwing black bird reminds me
of my friend Roz.

Poems, pots, redwing black birds
are all windows to the outside
from the inside.

& sometimes the title comes last --

RED WOK HANGING OUT WITH BIRDS
