On Waiting for NaPM
Outside the rain has paused
hawks are calling
my heart is answering their pangs of hunger
with parallel hunger for NaPM to begin.
What clock will RiverNotch be following?
But it’s only Thursday,
another day to get through
before I’ll see that first prompt.
Rain begins instead.
A hawk swoops at the ground.
I wait as patiently as the hawk
for my time to swoop.
