MICHAEL DAVID COFFEY
Water
Listen to the sound of water
gently hissing
Running, trembling, delivering
cool sheets
Spreading, soaking, kissing
the ground
It's hot here in the late afternoon --
smoggy
It's been a weary day
Tired, edgy, dreamy
Everything seen through a haze
It's been a long haul
From when you phoned this morning
Teaching, being busy
Then wanting the day over
Evening to come
The parting day's allure
That soft glint of golden sun
The lengthening shadows
Peace in the cooling evening
Listening to the sound of water
