office romance
I photocopy
the Bronte sisters

off to a holiday
any minute the secretary
will break loose

after cleaning up
I take a final look -
my misplaced heart

moonless night
reading your letter
by heart

slightly trembling
in cold spring water
aspen's reflection

no flowers yet
but the smell of the thawed flowerbed
is mind-blowing

finished
reading your letter -
watercolor
