One plane in days -
a lonely bird.
2
Grey,
I say,
please
bring sun.
One rhododendron blooms.
3
I walk home,
passing a woman,
facing east,
praying in her garden.
4
On this a street of old homes,
2 cats
lay among cherry blossoms.
5
The delivery man is afraid
to wait for signatures.
6
I have no thermometer, she laments.
7
This virus is a line that lengthens time, and heat, and air.
How will I measure interval,
warmth of sun and supplication,
or a cat's nap among spent flowers?
How do I pen fear, its rise and decline?
