The 365 Project Pt. II

soon begins
winter’s gracious leave
accepting
receding
disappearing into the
underbrush and
overpasses

we can all
feel it softly begin
the thrush
no longer
deceived fills himself
with beginning
and sings

i begin my goodbye
everyday i was here
with you
and i will be
again

the sky plump
with blue and promise
reflects and
contains all
that pushes against it
which is to say we are
our own skies

i begin my goodbye
everyday i was here
with you
and i will be
again
