just there

Just there
in the clamor of 

leaves and songbirds.
Just there
a nest of line 

in thick brush
by the river.
Just there
a noisy story 

that could be true.
Just there, a scrabble
of inspiration
on four paws.
Just there, a flash 

in the muddy swirls 
of spring flood.
Just there the one 
that got away, 
the better to lure you.
Just there, 

stories told soft, with
 wide arms, wide eyes.
