mint sings in the morning

before the spring comes, we clean

spring cleaning, we call it

maybe it is long overdue

that I air out my life

shaking loose the limp and lifeless

wishing wellness for having moved from me

letting go

open my doors for another chapter to begin

even if that means without my beloveds

it's just that time

to stand

to move

to cleanse

mint has warmed the way

the spirit of refreshment has come

and with her I will leave
