Prosies


cynical springtime:
birdsong, green shoots, sunshine
but you are not convinced

September 11
changes everything -- but still
sun shines on water

spring fever looms but
the wind blows cold across water
buds blossom under snow

each morning,
the maroon Nissan tells me
Dios te ama

everyone has frowns
in these crowded trains -- but hers
has a permanent look

morning sun and haze
paint the bridge like a picture -
one I pass daily

miracle of air
blown between bare branches - black
and beautifully stark

branches draped in snow
melting drops baptise your face
the sun melts it all
