Time, so impatient!
Snowflakes land on my eyelashes
as I step into the yard
to mow the lawn.
A ripe cherry
falls frozen
into my hand.
Icicles on the roof
melt a moment later.
Bright leaves
mix with blooming flowers.
Every question I ask
is answered in another life.
Every person I love
dies
before I can tell them about it.
