Sprung
Feb 25 2022
The sun lingers
water drips
snow softens.
Soon, shallow pools
of cold melt will form,
rivers run
fields turn muddy.
The grass will green
flowers poke-up
buds ripen.
Worms
will surface, then drown.
Infernal bugs will return,
followed by birds
from their journey south.
And when spring has finally sprung
we will see couples
walking hand-in-hand
in the sweetly scented air
and unaccustomed warmth.
Lovers
blinking in the light.
Who will emerge
from wherever it is they hunker down
through the long dark winter,
cuddling and kissing
and throwing caution to the wind.
