I MISS THE MUSIC
by Robert K. Johnson

that used to often
top off the air,
to stroll down the street

after a day
pent up at school
or at work. I want

to feel its notes
calm my day’s
dogged worries,

glide me
to a contentment
soft as a sigh

even while
its fading wake
follows the path
the whistler took.
