toast and marmalade

a mug of fresh pressed coffee

a personal space

a bowl of hot soup

three fat little carrots steam

a spoon slowly stirs

that temporal shift

a discombobulation

of the heart and mind

the clocks will advance

and I will spend the summer

running to catch up

thawing fingers and

toes stretched to welcoming fire,

vernal equinox

splintering of twigs

branches churn fluttering wings

doves’ loving flurry

a single flower

focus in on its pink heart

its subtle perfume

from the room above

a single chime, a call to

meditation

the fool on the hill

insidious mushroom rings

a red button glows
