Every open door is just another door
to an open room with another door.
Open it and see
what fresh ground has been tilled.
If your flowers made it through the frost
last night.
It wasn’t as cold as they said it would be,
though Maine had snow today and it’s May.
Today, a Japanese movie,
during what would normally be called lunchtime,
the girls reading subtitles
as fast as their eyes could absorb them.
I can’t tell you where all the hours went today,
but I know that I bought a prayer candle for $1.49
and standing on top of something you don’t usually stand on top of gives a new perspective on questions like,
when/how/how/how much will it cost/what else is there to do?
xo.
