the envelope to me
sealed carefully with tape
on every seam
when opened, reveals
absolutely nothing
looking
into it
just to see…

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

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

more geese
on the way home
wherever

may there be beauties
about you

snow melt
a fly lands
on me
the little tree
still receives and holds
spring snow

stand of tall trees-
not sure what
I’m turning into
it is always
just going out to see
what you can see…
