You Make Me Feel So Good

There's an ingredient in Spring that makes me happy. Light. Airy. Alive.

I felt my being bursting at the seams today. The soul pushes like a smile against the skin. This Is Living. 

I love this town. This house. This yard. This sun. 

I don't believe anymore

that old band, those dreaded warriors, The Grateful Dead Who Said,

"When life looks like easy street, 
there is danger at your door."

INTERMISSION and 

You Spring,
You pop the top off my emotional bag of bones.

Let them breathe. Release their dark chill.

There's no need to be all crunched up and alone, 

I feel like running. l feel like living. I feel like pulling chairs up next to breezy lakes with cold beers and barbecues and shorts and smiles--mine and yours all mixed up in the laughter. The circle is a blur of teeth and words. Why did I ever spend so much time thinking?

I am a silhouette of skin; a flesh-colored palette of blushes and rouge; I am Just Matter. 

Spring you please me so...
