spring

O it can be a very lonely place up here but / there’s still so much to do /
The beams need realignment / the garden needs / tending / I don’t
write very much / when i feel good / do you know that a weed can be / anything 
It’s just / categorization / a perfectly fine / apple tree or onion / could be your invader / threatening the crop / in need of up / rooting / your letters are missed deeply as is your voice / the bed is still / made / the sheets still / dirty / it’s good for me / to stay busy / I came across  this / bird the other day / cold in the ranch house / where the squatter used to be/ I don’t know how it got in / there were no clues / no witness / it’s important to hold on to the little rewards / one day the cat does come back / sometimes at night it’s as if you are still /
here / the radio keeps / playing / songs are good entertainment / but often untrue /
i don’t know about / you but i really hate to lose things / it’s such a waste of /
time / the most precious commodity we have / something akin to progress /
O / yes i made it through the winter well / and well / there’s still so much to do /
It is a very lonely place up here / but maybe not for long /
