you shouldn't go shopping
when you're hungry
except when you're in a bad mood

a high fence:
not a barrier,
but a challenge.

what looks like spring
through a window
is bitter cold outside

judging by people's looks
sitting on a fence
is the strangest thing to do

stumps covereed in cloth
lining the field
like ghosts of soldiers

it isn't april yet
and it's not 35 degrees
but otherwise she was right

alarm clocks
replace bird calls
for announcing spring

my nose is
not for breathing
but for dripping

an evening on the phone
talking a little
about everything

confused
scared
yet feeling wonderful
