I've seen this all before.
The turning of pages-
leaf after leaf, the same
trees shed loose leaves
that fray around the edges
as they fall.

The afternoon sunset in winter
sets later in summer.

How many tulips does it take
to screw in a memory?

Is it today yet?

Or has it been today
a thousand times before?
