The 365 Project Pt. II

yesterday everything was brown
like the cold that’s trying to warm
toledo was yawning and above it
a yellow kite flew tethered to a wish

spring is ready to open its eyes
what will today bring how will i
remember another year i have
nothing to fly over this sleepy city

you can let go your string
or wind it back
everything that wakes
sleeps again

no holding out on inevitability the
spinning never stops day to night
cold to hot sunlight to moonlight
white to green to brown again

you can let go your string
or wind it back
everything that wakes
sleeps again
