As if I’ve swallowed
A watermelon
And
Sidestepping
My digestive tract
It has lodged
In my heart.
There it lies
Green
& whole
with a luscious
red
heart of its own
daring me
to cut.

Alice Walker

Today, some sunshine,
then increasing clouds,
breezy, cool,
just everything.

The crosswords by day,
the sounds of the blues by night
a delicate symbol of spring
may crumble by summer

And the way we look
standing to lose the most
on the way to somewhere else
on the train, any train, ourselves, others.
