And Not Blue



it is possible to live happily in catastrophes

I thought to myself on an early spring day

to find in the ruins, wild strawberries

or to hear in memory

the mantel clock ticking away.

it doesnt seem a thing likely

to happen

because we didnt grow up that way

but even midstream among evictions

the larks sing.

the skies suddenly become rose

and not blue.
