recent observations, january.
new year, same me.
A desktop covered in pencil shavings,
a tiny book of ten-minute drawings,
an expectant glass of water.
A MOST ANNOYING TO-DO list, struck through with a wash of psychedelic watercolors.
Indoor evergreen branches crisped and curled and more fragrant than ever.
Bronze bulbs pressed into soft soil, waiting, willing, to be tricked into thinking it’s spring.
A steamy bathroom filled with the smell of new soap.
Embroidered names in thrifted jackets
Back-to-school protestations;
one of us lying prostrate on the living room floor.
Kisses on the top of lemongrass-scented heads.
Steam radiators singing the same song in a quiet apartment.
Easing, easing into something someone calls new.
