Even in the Darkest Days

On the sill above the sink


I snapped them off as I passed,

reaching out the window

as I turned into the yard.


In the barn I found an old bottle,

filled it with well water,

and sat it on the sill above the sink.


Given a bit of warmth,

even with the least attention,

you never know what can happen,


As with us.
