a cautious journey

the car the dog myself

gentle tuning of a memory plays out as the broken stalks of winter pass by

I feel the smile wanting to cleave the stubborn creases onto which I hold fast

I let them

cleave

I give this to the day if not to myself

a just glance out the side window

caught ribbon of yellow an unfurling of my soul

springs sure sign never fails to display itself

the notice has been served

natures dressing always this assurance
