I wear the palest of aquas
the color I would choose if ever plus
a pink slice of cake to celebrate
not a wedding but a letting go
I welcome and say
hello to a girl named June
she’ll be here all month and I hope
I get to know her well
that she doesn’t simply dwell
but opens herself to the whole of it
all the bright as well as hidden
a season of sunshine and clarity
begins today as I invite her in
