Oh, You


Sparrows’ wings and curious feelings
and you. You and black fleece found
in my laundry basket and longing and you.
Curious feelings of happiness upon finding
black fleece in my basket. Upon finding.
You . Wings and foolish songs for fleece
and too many cigarettes without stopping
and longing and distance but you are there
too, although there is the distance still finding
my basket full of fleece was nice. Was nice
although the distance and your smell surprised me
out of the shower. Your smell amid black fleece 
and distance. And you. You and sparrows and foolishly 
full smells of longing on wings’ distance but you 
oh you and you. Curious, the feelings from black fleece,
the sparrows’ wings and baskets full of you.
