I had hoped to go to the roof to watch the sunset tonight, but it was grey and windy. I looked out the window at the sky and know I can look forward to the shift of longer days. I'll clean the wax out of the candle holders on my Dad's table and light more candles, cook more dinners, and say thank you with a full mouth.
Listen
with the night falling we are saying thank you
we are stopping on the bridges to bow from the railings
we are running out of the glass rooms
with our mouths full of food to look at the sky
and say thank you
we are standing by the water thanking it
smiling by the windows looking out
in our directions
