Blessing Bell

The tongue of the blessing
bell has something to say—

bending the ear
of Old Man Wind—

the two of them now
under the eaves:

prayer
                palaver:

                                   ting
ting ting
                                   ting
                                                  ting—
                              
sprinkling benedictions
every which way—

plenty to go
around

today.
