tulips are blooming
hyacinth, daffodils
opening to the sun.
cold
frosty hostility
broken by the cheerful
chattering
of parrots
in the living room
calling the dog.
boxes stacked
in the spare room
ready to move
no more tears
my soul’s well
has gone dry
Big Girls (Do) Cry (2013)
So sad, but beautifully expressed.
Thanks, Naomi.
