Day #243 of (mostly unedited, mostly daily) writing/sharing

The Lilies

---

In the middle 
of the afternoon, 
in the middle 
of my life, 
in the middle 
of a poem 
that wants 
so much 
to get it right—
it is the lilies 
on the kitchen table 
that wink at me,
a breath of sunshine
on this cold 
December day,
saying everything 
with no words at all—
they are the poem 
I want to write.
