Every April (for many years now), KC from KC sends me (well, not just me) a poem or so a day. It’s a bit overwhelming, but I always find gems in the deluge. This year, a couple of her own haikus that struck me a bit hard, somewhere near my heart, knocking the emotional wind out of me…

Above, the pines laugh,
tossing boughs on me below,
shattering lonely

The clouds move two ways
world spinning against itself–
try to hold steady
