NOVA Spring

Tonight,
peepers
pepper the air,
thick
with the sauce
of spring,
a dinner of biscuits
and decaf coffee,
reverse breakfast,
southern flavor
that somehow
edged its way north.
No complaining.
It all ends up
in the same place,
that feeling of fullness
that promises
an early snooze.
Enjoy.
Be lazy awhile.
Tomorrow marks Monday.
There’ll be no time
for frogs
or homemade
much of anything.
There’ll be no time
for sleep.
Please–
keep the window open.
It’s too early for flies.
And I like how the breeze feels
on my closing eyes.
