2011-9

Winter. My eyes
drift constantly
upward, checking,
and rechecking the
open-ended branches of
the Texas redbuds.

Impatient for
the first flush of
pink, for unfurling
flowers, assurance that
spring is only a
moon and a half
cycle away.

And yet-
my eyes also drift
ever downward, checking
and rechecking my
phone, wishing for
just one more
message, one
more assurance,
one more

anything.
