From Jim Schley (thank you!): My Father’s Whistle
On a darkened bus
on Thanksgiving, I was
thinking
“My father could whistle
like breeze coming home
through a spruce,”
I was
breathing
through my teeth,
and with tilted lips
my throat and mouth
released
a looped sigh
the first whistle came free
filigree in air
as if to remain —
(from Jim Schley’s book AS WHEN, IN SEASON)
