Lisa Frost wraps northern April snow
around her in the morning report

Anna is off to a stallion evaluation & approval
in Luleå

Cesi lays her heavy trust in a sleeping curl
across my chest, cradled by my arm;
paws & whiskers dream-quivering

I release grand plans, costed & quoted,
let them drift -
with the water beneath the bridges,
through thickets,
out into the river

I'm valid until tomorrow morning,
or until the coffee wears off
