Waiting for the Lilacs to Bloom
I cast on. I unravel.
I repeat.
I cast on. I unravel.
...
I am confident that by Thursday—at the latest—the tight petals will have relaxed. And when I brush past for a pause my eyes will close on command and volumes of spring will push through every pore.
Waiting...
I'm confident too. Enjoy the anticipation.
