A HAPPY MOMENT
A happy moment
can for example come to me
in the early morning,
when my senses wake,
and when the first
and as yet undated light
is cast in through the window,
and I am brimful of glad wonder
at the crazy cock that defiantly
leaves out the prescribed ‘doodle’
in his crowing and his insane focusedness
shakes the still thin space
from his place
behind the neighbour opposite’s greenhouse:
‘Cock-a-doo, cock-a-doo.’ And all
now depends on
my prolonging my sense of wonder.
