so yesterday’s heat
blew into this morning’s chill
March is not done

remember when, remember
the morning as it wasn’t

body remedies: 3 haiku on the first day of spring

1.
song sparrows and ants
promises of the season
call, march this new day

2.

the dogs, being kind
let me sleep in -- grace
is best unspoken

3.

body remedies:
hot coffee, fresh air
a cold face wash

sump pit as metaphor

[Day book 2026 // Winter 3.11.26]

What we do we do
we do we do
this regeneration
it ain’t for the weak boned
this revision, life, revisited
the spring rain drains
into the sump pit and thus
beginning again
the water keeps running
and so do I
and so do I
and so do I
I do I do I do
