Damp clouds hug the earth.
Early rains,
Press their cheek to mud and clay.
And lift to leave the stain of
Sun kisses,
Daffodils
Hail Spring!
Cherry Blossoms
Hail Spring!
Stubborn, purple headed weeds,
Hail Spring!
Banish the winter!
Postpone the heat!
Driven by springs insatiable beat,
I begin to itch from inside-out.
Infected.
This fever a contagious malady
Soothed only by spring’s
Cool, soft, damp melody.
Morning clouds hug me close,
Press your dewy brow to mine.
Sun, plant your lips delicate, fine,
To my cheeks.
