occasional poem for the 24th day of spring

Posted on April 14, 2013 by Susan L Daniels

Today is someone’s birthday
but not in my house.

The rising sap
the snap of light
against the window

negate the chill

say today
someone is celebrating
something

and should
just for the sake
of the day

unfolding.
