Brown Creeper

Brown Creeper 

For those who seek their charm.

And your day was going 

only okay,
as you expected it would stay.
Then Brown Creeper came along—

cryptic, petite—
and spiraled, herky-jerky, up and around

your fogged-up heart.
And suddenly heart, and soul—
both clear—were better than okay:
They were
realigned.

Brown Creeper by Adam Wilson
