Too tired to write
I glue a few odds and ends
My mind a great fog.

From the vault…

Spring dreaming on winter’s day
Robins do gather.

Search for signs of spring
Subtle in January
Blooms, blue-birds, robins.

Soft Voice January 21, 2015
Low, soft voice of hers
Is precisely the spirit
In the entire world.
