Outlook

It’s
Sun
And yellow on brown
For trees
While the sky is an ashy blue behind

I know it’s Lent
And maybe this is a somber
Spring day

Maybe a calling to
Remember this is what happens
After
Winter

After March’s lion
March’s lamb

Straightforward observations
With ingredients of
Folklore
Added
Even to the speaking of the sun
The day
To us
Unusual

After all
Like a little revolution
A little anthropomorphizing
Is a good thing

Which we’re gonna do
Anyway

Thinking of a sun that smiles
Looking for
The face
In the moon
Tonight
