Spring buds, leaved ‘n fell

Warmth retreated

Crisp curlicue winds proceeded

Frozen limbs blanched like linen

No marching forward progression

No picnic or ants

Just frozen plants

& crisp grass to wet your ass

THE PASSAGE OF TIME SLOWED TO A HALT

Nature labors against a rapid spring thaw

Fields of woad

Spirits dye blue
