Appointment with surprise
What happens when you place a glass-topped desk by a window with a view
I have just sat down
at my September desk
I have not adjusted to
this frameful of trees
stretching against the sun
and bouncing light
off fat stray cats.
I have kept my first
appointment with surprise
with pine needles bobbing
deep down inside the glass
of my shiny Seoul desk.
What shall I write about?
I had better not decide.

How magical. How wonderful. So happy for you.
I obviously know nothing about the greenery in Korea. Thanks for the photo. I hope you continue to share your experiences as you can without taking energy away from your primary projects.
