early morning

I.
this morning, slow-bodied and dark-eyed,
bears no fruit,
(obese limbs without root in the ground)
tight buds centered in my fingertips,
(promises of flowers--i wish)

II.
the days have colors
the days are long and blurred



(the moon was so pleasantly plump last night!
the first full moon of the lunar calendar.
in my head, i thought yesterday was the end.
but like always, it was only the beginning.)
