she’s not here
to see it
but after breaking the stick
I perfectly fit the broken ends
back together again

the geese go where
they must go
no mind-
the spring rain drops
bouncing off me
a small puddle holding a large tree top

a small puddle
holding
a large tree top

my wife needs a room
of her own,
a place to close the door,
a place I never saw
in the sunnier days before
long time split now held together with straps

long time split
now held together
with straps
