Eddie Roa - Crossings

Don’t change the linen yet
It’s still warm
With charm and laughter

Pat the sofa later
Let the hollow stay longer
On the silky cushions

Let the blinds stay folded
The sunbeam remains bright
Casting soothing shadows

The bud is not fully bloomed
Hold the florist’s shears
Just for one more day

Let us not be eager
To shut the gate
Not just yet

Eddie Roa
