A pile of books and pamphlets
Quote from Diane Seuss' poem Poetry
A tree trunk growing around a do not climb sign
Resurgence I step out into the dark where he’s lurking. Autumnal coat, spindly legs, paused squat in his quest for life’s scraps. Dissected bin bag, egg shells, scant bones. A beep of my watch. I leave him behind, find my stride. I settle my mind to the rhythm of music from nights in places I’ll never remember. Now connect. Breathe in. Breathe out. Darkness begins to give way. I run past the tree whose trunk is swallowing the do not climb sign. Spring sun floods low mist with gold. Electric blue sky goes live with the promise of day.
