A heron lands in a cypress by the river
dog barks amid birdsong
breeze glances my skin and stirs
chimes out where the scent of anaqua blooms
joins the overcast of green and gray cloud.
Spring settles in. Grass, now spiky
with new shoots amid last year’s
yellowed cuttings. And I think:
dreams and Spring travel together
like Summer and disappointment.
