【Written by Reese San Diego】

I chatted with someone the other day
about prematurely putting away our winter coats,
how hints of sun and warmth
make us feel safe

but often too soon
how I wear skirts in brisk weather
because I believe it will be warm
though the cold evidently nips at the skin of my legs

it doesn’t dampen my spirit
but instead
makes me hopeful for warmer days to come,
when my eagerness wont be in vain

at my core,
I am eager but well-meaning
it often feels like more of a fault than a virtue.

but I suppose,
to be eager is to wish for good things––
and I don’t see the harm in that
