Ann Marie Glenn
March 2020 Who Knew

The sun glazes the rough bark
shimmering in the slide of sun
slipping below the horizon. It’s March
an unusual day, with petty breezes
as citrine light turns into amber
obediently floods the curves and drift
as sun’s corona abashes the streets
numb, where few knew…the day.
