Judy Collins came by
this morning
to sing of moons
and clowns
while I ate my eggs
followed by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Nanci Griffith Roberta Flack
and finally
in time for coffee
Emmylou
who walked from Boulder
to Birmingham
before flying over
to Izmir
to give this city boy
some country soul
who says
I don’t have a woman
in my life
any morning
afternoon evening
3am if needed
they are there
here
helping me gain
control again
