Trilliums bud in earth wet by melted snow,
seeds spread last fall by dogs kicking stems
germinate in April’s first warmth.
The park is almost empty, two couples take photos
of the lake beyond the protective rail at the bluff,
a lone man smokes a joint on a bench by the birch.
I walk where I walked two decades ago,
the shortcut to the plaza through the woods.
