on the school bus home today
listening to the magnolia soundtrack
It stopped in front of the
volunteer ambulance corps by the marsh which looks most perfect when covered
with powedered snow and the thin girl got off and I saw a tall tree which
was brilliant orange and yellow with a tree skirt like at christmastime
of fallen yellow and orange leaves and the grass was still green
When it came to my stop I walked
up the hill the air was cold in my lungs like breathing after laughter
it started to rain and it felt like a secret the sun shone through the
gray
