Dear Crocus

Don’t be fooled

This warm day won’t last

 

Small flicker

Lips pucker

Sugar rush

 

Frozen night

Life’s breath

Whisper of glistening ice

 

Frozen earth

Forsythia on sill

Yellow then green

 

Still cold

Blue skies

Bulbs pushing up

 

Release your grip

You’re no longer welcome in me

I choose to breathe deep

 

A bridge of churches

Back & forth

In song

 

Sunning kitten

In window

Jealous crocus

 

After snow squall

Cardinal sings

Earth turns
