There is nothing now but sparrow

One evening, my mind
full of stuff, compressed,
buzzing, hot, I step outside
and hear the sparrow,
and there is nothing now
but sparrow, the other stuff
stops its pressing mattering.
(With a tip of the hat to Iris Murdoch and her line: “There is nothing now but kestrel”.)
