Emerging from sleep
downy fur on chartreuse stalks
waiting to unfurl

Veil of pink blossoms
protects, shelters, and conceals
robin sings within

Solitary walk
led to unexpected gift
hidden in plain sight

Window flung open
birdsongs and wind chimes echo
morning serenade

Pushing the limits
between a rock and a hard place
purple violets

The coffeemaker hisses
in tempo with falling rain
quarantine concert

I miss the market
choosing just ripe bananas
now a place of fear
