last night, wind was pouring
through the darkspined streets,
forcing leaves and litter
into scurry.
but today, in the quiet yard
behind the sunshine cafe,
i am painting happiness with
toes and fingertips.

a worker bee is swimming
in the thick miasmic air,
a thousand million wingbeats
from his home.

i wonder if the air and warm
i breathe right now have
sometime in the ever-past
touched your hair,
your shoulders and your
thoughts of me,
a thousand million wingbeats
from your home.

and always is
a new day now,
ever-breathing.
