Whippoorwill - Monogold

Wait lets stay awhile

And warm our bones

Beside this fire

Stained glass and windowsills

In a fortress of sorts

Weve wandered in

At the same time

And we know what waits outside

Gazing watchful eyes

Patient and perched

Atop the pines

A singing whipporwill

In a song calling out both

Of our names

We close our eyes

And then we hum the notes
