Some Things Left Largely Ignored<\/strong><\/p>\n

End of winter rain falls harder here.
\nIt\u2019s as predictable as an old clock
\nticking somewhere in the house.<\/p>\n

Snow disappears overnight\u2014 soggy
\nground moves in all directions under
\nmy feet\u2014 without thinking, I<\/p>\n

navigate a walk\u2019s short distance.
\nThere are three voice messages
\nleft on my phone.<\/p>\n

………….<\/span>I tilt my chin to look up
\nat the luminous sky, longing for words
\nthat transcend these solitary hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mid-sentence<\/strong><\/p>\n

In early morning hours, I find myself lingering
\nover a half-nibbled round of toast, a steaming
\ncup of Irish tea, my sleek pen left mid-sentence
\non an open page. . . .<\/p>\n

I\u2019m tired of mild exchanges; I\u2019d rather put
\na bold face on this day that\u2019s looming ahead\u2014
\nclouds of steam rising in the orchard\u2014 sun
\nburning through the sky\u2019s stretched linen, like<\/p>\n

phantom hunger, wanting more than what
\nappears to cross its path\u2014 my soft padded
\nprowl for what\u2019s not yet strewn\u2014 waiting
\nfor the impulse that makes me turn my head.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
