Yesterday I took my time rising. When I went out for my walk, the air had warmed from the cold snap earlier in the week, though the sky was still gray.
On one of the wider streets, I looked up into a tree and found a long slender branch, the thickness of my thumb, had grown from the third lowest branch and meandered its way upward, winding around the tree's trunk.
As I tried to follow its path, I found the treetop filled with mourning doves. Most swayed with the wind, one fluttered to a new branch.
Later, after I'd returned home, I heard a rushing sound. Going to the door, I discovered a steady rain.

meandering branch
mourning doves sway in the wind
warm and gray, it rains
I retrace my steps
along these written lines
someone has found my bottle
signed the note inside
and thrown it back
into the sea
outside
spring air
freshens my cheeks
