bright and gentle future

longing for spring, i step out into the world
careful on the ice, silly pretty shoes
no hat, happy to be touched by comfortable air

at the market i buy pussywillows for one dollar
and my spirit soars just to look at them
soft and promising and kind in a glass on the windowsill

tomorrow i'll take the saskatoons from the freezer
to make treats that feel like summer
and maybe step out into the world again, reclaiming.

  1. Our pussywillows are soft and promising and kind in a glass on the windowsill as well... :)

    Reclaim!
