let’s just start with spring

you have no interest in doling out portions

and i no need of receiving them.

let’s just start with spring then,

when the sea whips up against the windows,

and  the wind chases the air between the trees.

there is so much we didn’t know when we were young—

that a broken lock resists even a perfectly solid key;

that the distance between your old car and the dates hanging from a palm

was longer than the span of my feet and hands;

that empty space and full space are two halves of the same whole.

lets just start with spring.
