a Sunday morning in the Spring

What to say.

I am leaving

soon.

Its after 1 and I have not yet made coffee.

Its a Sunday morning.

I have had quite a bit of luck with craigslist lately.

There is much more that I

need to do.

But I find myself spending more time

then I should

not moving at all.

Or if I do move, its as if

I'm moving in slow motion.

Lately I have spent a lot of time with people

and I have missed being alone.

I think sometime in the past few

dark and rainy days and nights

I said my goodbyes.

I am overcome with details.

maps and budgets

and lists

and boxes

that are not yet packed.

But I think saying goodbye

has been crossed off my

list of things to do.

I wish that what I needed now was action.

Productivity.

But it isn't.

What I need is quiet

and fresh air,

sunshine, a sketchbook

and a trail.

Self reliance.

Perhaps I should put it off

since I know that soon I will have more

time for these things then I know what to do with

but I do not think that they

will be put off for long.
