Much Too Early


an autumn breeze squeezes through

spring windows...  air units stilled...

fans silent, their chains dangling

down in plain sight...  an inside job

forces us outside into the cool warmth

of the sun...  trees bend in appreciation

for the path of the wind whose silence

is destined to repeat itself...  uneaten

toast sits on the plate with jam, waiting

for the child's hunger to return, when

its reality is more wasted food...  a

momentary glimpse in southern life

from a northern perspective is not

the best possible image to convey

but one that is accurate...   spring

leaked into the environment much

too early this year...  binding us in

harmony with last year's forecast.
