2016.1 Great. Full

Finally getting started! :D 

Today I am eating sunlight
Gold traces patterns of happiness
On winter-pinched skin
And I sink into my small square,
Aware of chattering silence and
The clatter of exchange
Intersecting gently
With my space.

I have been graced with blossoms,
Frothing before their time,
And gifts made out of minutes
And half-miles
And busy smiles
And the twin scents of levity
And tragedy
It's already been a busy day.

Maybe I will breach the levee.
Maybe today I'll only tread water.
Maybe ought will give way to shall,
And thank yous standing for
Unwanted apologies,
And solitary unconfinement,
Dealt a hand of sunlight
And warm food
In my favourite library.
