[pause]

I have answers at the beginning, of spring 
as breezes lift my thoughts

restless with birdsong vicariously, leaving
imprints of desire in the air 

and shy things are whispering, in the hedge 
questions lost in their play

enclosed in the diamond of my legs, a book
for me to read now and again

while refrains fold and fade to close, I learn
to love myself, with your mind

I watch a British comedy panel show called Taskmasters. Comedians have to do silly tasks. One of the comedians brought in a subscription to the Cloud Appreciation Society for one his tasks and he was mocked greatly for it. Whenever we see fluffy white clouds on a blue background, my husband and I suggest we should take a photo for the Cloud Appreciation Society. (I, for my part, feel that this particular comedian was not given enough support for his love of clouds.)
