An Uncertain Time In September
light switch in the dark
fright switch
whirr of wings
unallocated
swift hither
pulse race over ice
bat
on the ceiling
fridge top
skitter of featherless wings
timid fear in the air
now clinging to a skillet hook
throw open the screen
wait
blurred flight-pass
out now
thread carefully
sew together a scattered panic
put heartbeats
back into their drum
make coffee
puzzle the moments
