Evening Window in May

Lucie McKee

As my hand

rests on the

apple branch

my hair

blossoms.

Author’s note: I write at a table near windows overlooking a crabapple tree. In the evening
when the light is right, sometimes I see my face superimposed on the tree in the window glass, and I find this quite eerie in a delightful way.
