santos scribes

4.23 today cherry blossoms 

tickle my eyes 

my nose 

my throat too 

achoo! 

4.24 today the river runs 

teaching me  

i’m interested in what’s already here 

and how it changes 

4.25 today a raven 

sits high  

& brave  

in an empty tree 

4.26 today my children 

just ten & four-  

are kind& self-possessed 

and more beautiful then i imagined them  

the pizza is perfect too  

4.27 today the rain 

not cats and dogs  

but strawberries & fluffy pancakes  

and butter 

and salt 

and them  

about this poem

while I’ve been working on other work this month (mostly book stuff) my signs of life project has continued and continued to serve me well ~ it’s become an almost therapeutic outlet for energy and thought..I just love it ! thanks for being here, xo, s.
