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 on the floor of 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
