Spring Cleaning

Preview Image: 
I will ask rain to bless the bear claws
that I wrapped in purple silk and hid
in my desk drawer. I will light candles
since garden seeds have arrived. I will
drink mint tea to purge bellyaches
while I free pent-up, pushed-down dreams.
I will respect the magic of words. I will
visit the woods to memorize how sunlight
touches every tree, stone and weed
from dawn to dusk.
