spring begins here
the origin of life

seems fitting
spring begins here
the origin of life

I once suggested she have a good cry
she said “I’m afraid if I start
I’ll never be able to stop”

sometimes I’m quick to snuff it out
sometimes I let it burn
but there’s always that ash
sticking to the soles of my shoes
the gritty tracks
follow me
for days


the stillness is palpable
as a snowstorm approaches
I feel the same excitement
as when I was young
