Re-lit

I can't tell you just how pink the flowers on the tree are
outside my window
backlit petals, a rain soaked sun and a
cup of green tea, on my desk.

I do not want to leave the house today. I do not want to get on my bike,
but I am not sad,
I just do not know where else to put myself.
I pull the covers up, around my nose, and tell myself
how everything is fine already, and nothing needs fixing or replacing (apart from the empty bulbs in the living room)
our evenings spent in a darkness.

I rinsed out the light fittings this morning and pulled away cobwebs in the bathroom.
Linen hangs out, in the top of the house
and I would love a hug, if there's one going anywhere?
Is there?

Has to be just around the corner.
