In Preparation

*


A whisper of future leaves
above the tired wave of cloud.

Here's a nostalgic desire for trinkets:
seedpods, damp hand prints.

Teal stockings beneath a white dress,
that's the dream that fills the afternoon

the glow of wandering about it,
the look of a bird's sharp beak.

Already we feel the necessity to strip off,
fold the blanket of winter carefully,

mind the gaps in our world.
