Do you see how tantalizingly close this sweater is?  Must. finish.

Even though truly warm weather is a ways off, and I’ll probably still be wearing the occasional sweater in May, my little polar bear was already walking around in short sleeves yesterday.

And also, some new words.  Definitely in progress, but here we go.

March

by Adrie Lester

Not yet

ready,

but here we are.  The moon, full,

startling on the snow.  The taps

on the maple trees, gathering, pulling out

that life blood, as if we thought

it was owed us.  And what is owed us?

This night, this moon?

Or this breath, in

out, ours for now, soon to be taken back

and taken

forward.
