Wow, Yu! The implications of the verse, "Leap Day - an old friend/ takes off her glasses" are many: Did an old friend take off her glasses and become new to you? Was it daring of her to do, thus making it a real "Leap Day" for her? And then couple those layers with the image - a cactus suddenly in bloom, blurred edges, all focus on the buds - and this becomes even more of an "aha!" moment. Well done!

Aurora's comments have opened my understanding. I see another dimension I might otherwise have missed. Enjoyed!
