Morning Poem

You might not even see what's there:
the tree with the cardinal the red brick building
some soothing hand along your neck
but that was someone else someone
built into the landscape with snacks
and a blanket that you don't use
because all it takes to show love
is a hand -- that spark is a bloom
a wedge that lifts the scene upward
which is really where you need to be
right now so go there and tell
them all I sent you on a mission
to correct what's been done.
