Something like a whisper

Something like a whisper
soft and airy
warm breath and
silent bluejays
sitting on a fencepost
between the cows
and you
and I
and the nickel sun
and my hand can tell
cordoroy from cotton
otherwise confuses easily
can't find the spot
it started from
but your hand
your dungy fingers
how your hand just hangs
like an unwanted neighbor
