Did I waste myself on excess,

Wanting too much

Until it became too little?

Is to feel what night is made of

wildflowers return

infinite, is her answer

azalea petals

leave the door open

so I may hear you trying

not to disturb me

i worry for you

but you've been through this before

daffodils in snow

none easy to shovel

the birdsong too

rooted to sky
