Waiting For Happy

 

Bring happy, I shout.

You ask, One with capital H?

 

Spring lights up doves 

on our ledges.

Windows when opened

gleam with

spiders’ pride-works.

 

A truck of tar backs in the alley.

Its back-up alarm fancies 

a medley of songs died in youth.

 

Bring, I say.

It or him? You question.
