Swallows

Yesterday swallows
danced above the historic city hall
over pedestrian conversations
over diesel trucks hustling
morning men with Rockstars
and coffee to job sites,

over retired regulars on the sidewalk
sipping their coffees remembering
hustling to their job sites.

I, lost among them to the birds, wanted to
forget those things and longed
to remember simpler things like
which swallows these were
and what hatch brought them out.
