monarch butterflies;
cherry blossoms; bumblebees.
I can only dream.

April 29, 2013

so, all day raking
make way for green, fragrant grass
then. this morning. snow.

April 27, 2013

oh joy! spring has sprung!
swelling branches, buds, spouts, shoots;
the smokers return.

April 26, 2013

garage roof scrambles
little does the squirrel know
demolition soon

April 25, 2013

is it wrong to dream
of beer and deer for breakfast
post wildlife siting?

April 24, 2013

tender-footed cat
gentle paws, tapping my face
i cannot wake up

April 22, 2013

blinding golden beams
tulips pushing up, too bad
it is silent spring

April 21, 2013

refracted light shines
off the metal window, back,
back at my wistful face

April 20, 2013

fast and furious,
ye be gone, April blizzard.
some sign. something. please.

April 19, 2013

wind and wind and wind,
beams and beams of sun:
waft me a summer.

April 17, 2013

will blossoms abound?
when will the irised open?
take back the city.

April 16, 2013 (another)

sweet, cheap carnations
window sills, table tops, stools
i'd rather lilacs

April 16, 2013

pulses racing, run
fresh air, flying limbs, pace, pace.
bombs and blood end all.

April 15, 2013

fractured, crispy ice
splintered veins, thickness feigned.
glacial water rush.

April 14, 2013

softer day outdoors:
subtle, drying, gentle wind.
step, slip, crackle: ice!

April 13, 2013

puddle lake sewers,
steady stern snow, crushing ground
we missed Grayson's show

April 12, 2013

simple seed packets
trowel, gloves, dirt; digging hands
forecast is blizzard

April 11, 2013

girl walking wet dog
gritty pavement, melting snow
joy, bursting with spring.
