The 365 Project Pt. II

today we look down and smile
every tiny sprig coiled and ready
to become every worm wakes
to make his way through the damp

today the sun will warm the backs
of our necks through a breeze still
cold with winter’s dying breath
birds wing above the end of sleep

it’s all over too soon
barely goodbye and now another
how could i have known
one year ago

today i put the basement to rest
shut down the blue fire horseshoe
tossed out the box of dust and
broken glass bulb spider hulls

it’s all over too soon
barely goodbye and now another
how could i have known
one year ago
