spring poems



THIS IS HOW

this is how we emerge from winter
shoes worn out,
needing a haircut,
sloppy, unshaven,
unready.

but the buds are ready.
and the world welcomes us
anyway.





MAGNOLIA

Magnolia,
why did you not send me a letter?
I wanted to know
the
moment     
your blossoms burst!


DAILY

Daily
I have to resist kissing things
Daily things,
things I pass
Bicycles, and trees
with little longing souls
sending out little buds
that break
like popcorn
and bloom
