Lesson One:
Its absence.
Lesson Two:
Worry that longing, preoccupation
thwarted seasonal sighting.
Next:
Stories of missing
recounted to the new friend
who put her arm in yours.
Four:
Virtual image arrives unexpectedly,
a fun, perhaps flirtatious, gesture
from aforementioned friend.
There are many ways to have a bird in the hand.
Find joy in what is before you.
Then the lesson ends.
Or begins:
Mid-afternoon,
your head turns
to a window
stained with autumn glare.
A perfect perch of not one,
but five, materializes
for you to see,
what you were meant to see.
