from p.4 on Mon., March 16th

Expressions failing me
tonight, I sit silent
wondering when the words will come and save me,
come and pull me up from under.

I am completely engulfed
by the knot in my stomach and the lump in my throat.

• The summer sun glares,
       a challenge for
             dirty parking lot snow.
  
  
  
  
• The pink blossoms
  falling from the
  tree
  
  growing from
  the stems.
