Sprung

poetry

Recently—only a moment ago
Snowed mountain ranges landscaped
Vehicles into knolls
Cities into still frames
And then to look in my backyard
With tulips pushing through
Crocuses already in bloom
Spring—Resurrection
A time for planting
Dusting off wicker rocking chairs
Dreamily hazily on the front porch
Greeting the neighbors as they pass
Getting to know why, again
