Many Things Poem by Wyn Cooper

Many Things



Chapel bells a mile away,
an owl not much closer,
Johnny Cash on the radio
of a car driving by,
the neighbor's phone that rings
three times, more birds
than I will ever know,
two clocks ticking,
jet overhead screaming,
our new house settling
into damp ground.

I hear these many things
from my bed and think,
as always, of death.
