06.03.2023

It's bright outside:

The seasonal slant of light has shifted again 

Blue grey, to green gold

Already preparing us for 

Early Spring bulbs to burst 

Through hard ground

I sit sideways by my yellow table, eating 

A crisp, late Winter's apple

The still cool air slips in under the lip of the window that won't quite close

Over the dusty rows of books lined up on my sill,

Like a younger lover, insistent I walk with her down to the river

Perfumed steam from the first floor — someone is doing laundry.
