on being the season, changing (poem)

wearing my silk robe
before breakfast

more curled bamboo leaves on the porch
each day, thoughts migrate

back to the mountain. My suitcase
not yet out, I pack my life inward.

a friend writes, confides
her fear of death.

I like the leaves, their sound beneath
my thai broom as I sweep.
