trying not to think of you;
snow on frozen ground

Cat Stevens’ voice breaks
when he sings the word “listen.”
Hummingbird flies off.
hummingbird (midair)
stops to look at me, hovers
flies over the wall
ceiling fan spinning
we hear the neighbors’ dog bark
social distancing
My awakened heart
races; February skies
promise later rain.
do you remember
the 21st night of sep-
tember? me either
