miracles and mermaids

the dregs of my peppermint tea,
stagnant and cool,
make me wince.
around me the snows are melting,
i smooth down the lapels of my
winter wool coat one last time
and open the blinds to remember
what the sun feels like on my face.
i imagine myself curling around him like a cat
on april afternoons
before life got so complicated.
the alleyways of my mind are cluttered with
lost flyers, abc gum and decaying leaves
i need to spring clean my life.
