Three poems for spring

original poetry and photos

Note
.

Despite recent goings-on, I have been very much enjoying the beginning of spring. I think we could all use some beauty during a time like this. That which is defunct is recycled and bursts forth with unexpected vigor. Splits are healed, fractures sewn by the aether's humming light.

I.

A world mahogany, silver, and green
without my window breathes;
with just a touch of rose unseen
stirs the verdant spring.

All the wonders I have ever seen
—and ever shall—
embers slowly flickering
behind my mortal pall.

II.


Iron, dance with woodbine;
now stone, waltz anew—       
  with clover flower, sunshine,
the whole March through.

III.

Radius of metal bone,
a fine dust upon
the broken avenue, alone
betwixt the quiet lawn
where I am wheeled by my whim
over old ways, the while
a new seam through long days
the min'ral ivies hem.
