Raining inside

some mornings you have to wake up extra early
for the day ahead
and you were onto us
what's up with them?
and soon enough
ruse revealed into the carrier, the car and across town
the den of diagnostics
after a few hours you came back to us
wide eyed and sozzzled
but you rounded home

here's to rounding home

Swelling

it has been hot here the last several days
and ofcourse it is all relative
because what is hot here for us
may not be so much for you where you are
reading today that rainforests are on fire
giant trees as kindling

setting out the other morning to little 83
shattered shell fragments
yolk on concrete
yesterday, two feather wing fragments
flying no more

the ones that keep on keeping on
the ones left behind

on the fan that cools all of us
no one is left behind

Fragility

there is that moment when blowing up a balloon
that you wonder 'should I stop now?'
when it feels pretty full
when you think you've emptied yourself into it as much as you should
and then the thought crosses your mind 'wait a minute...maybe just a little more'
maybe you have more to give
more juice in the lungs and that could make the balloon that much better
and so you inhale and go to blow again but the balloon bursts
and you know how that feels in your heart when you want the best for everyone and everything
when you want to know that no matter what
we'll all be just fine

Note taking

the robins are out in full bloom tonight
trilling
news to share up down around the bar
golden news from burnished breasts
#82 and counting
early notes yet in a season of song
