23 January 06

Monday, Monday

The first almond blossom of
the first tree that blossoms here:
doomed to sterility

The white of egrets
fussing in receding floodwaters
bright white on mud

The Canada geese
watching the egrets
cryptic on cryptic

The mallards
ignoring them all
sexsexsexsexsex

The blue, blue sky
no hint of clouds
with this north wind

I ride into it.
The north wind.
The day.
