Lisa Frost wraps northern April snow

around her in the morning report

Anna is off to a stallion evaluation & approval

in Luleå

Cesi lays her heavy trust in a sleeping curl

across my chest, cradled by my arm;

paws & whiskers dream-quivering

I release grand plans, costed & quoted,

let them drift -

with the water beneath the bridges,

through thickets,

out into the river

I'm valid until tomorrow morning,

or until the coffee wears off
