even though
it’s mid-april
and the skies
delivered snow today
i thought back to a few days ago
when just like today
i had my sandals on
and came upon
a mother and child
in the sun
taking time
to create art
with simple and happy words
‘have a nice day’
for anyone in the neighborhood
who may come by
needing this message.

the long letter
written on the outside of my valentine
was even more important
than the card inside
the kinder who worked very hard to write it all down
read it out loud to me
confident, proud, with voice inflections, hands moving
and so much to say.

“fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”
-william wordsworth
my message seems written in the sky
(or possibly on the windshield)
MB in reverse
waiting my turn
moderna booster soon coming my way.
ah – my message is in a bottle.
