Ode to Spring

thick as the skin

of an unripe fig

nature – all ideas

of that process.

incremental

conditional

successive

mind –

thus poetry.

(is world pulled in-

to mind

or

is mind

pulled into world?)

rolling

boil of current

wood on

synapse fires

burlap gently

laid on ground

where snow

leeched away

ground-

cover blades.

spring –

pole of love

and hatred –

life as all

life born of

annihilation

touched

again – bare

skin.
