SMILING IN THE SUNROOM

He was smiling in the sunroom.
The silence was nice, but then he noticed
small sounds – the humming of the furnace
in the cellar, some spring birds singing
outside, the soft touch of his fingers
on the keyboard. He couldn’t think
of a single problem he had to solve,
or a single something he had to get.
He knew they were somewhere,
but he couldn’t see them now
with so many starlings soaring up

from the feeders in the sunshine.
