Melting or hardened, /
Icarus learned too late: /
“Wings will weigh me down.”

My cat
Even as the world grows /
odd, my old cat still purrs and /
demands his dinner.

To pluck is…
Breathe softly the scent. /
Flowers remind you to let go. /
To pluck is to forget.

Spring in February. Cocuses and daffodils. Purple and yellow. #022418
Grasp
Oppressing hands grasp /
through fear and not respect. /
Blooms still share beauty.
