One March Evening

The dying days of winter air

Linger, holding onto its last breath

As the faces cautiously awaken

Anticipating the arrival of spring.

The moon, unconcerned of the changes

Illuminates the night like always

A bright bulb in a dark canvass

With swathes of brush strokes

Hiding pieces of its body

Veiling its perfection imperfectly…

Screening out imperfection

Perfectly.
