Holding On (+1)

We loiter in Winter

when it’s already Spring

Still hearing that Starling

with snow on its wings

 

We blanket our longing

as Tulips unfold

Transfixed by the fire

— of memories old

 

(The New Room: October, 2025)

 

 

 

Time\'s EpiPen

 

It’s never what

but who

 

It’s never yes

or no

 

It’s never then

or when

 

It’s only here

— and now
