seven o seven
March equinox dons lamb’s wool
the first day of spring
snatching liquid snow
from the puddle near the fence
silent and thirsty
red lichen dot folds
around a dead aspen branch
in my direction
tater tot medley
whiffing around broiled chicken
on a gray March day
a kid smoking pot
across the pond on a log
sitting in the sun
1 and a half feet
juniper split from the weight
of early spring snow
shedding muddy boots
on the rug by the white door
a black beetle crawls
flattened dirty snow
crusty and black near the porch
frees the columbine
Liz’s clear blue eyes
when she pulls on monkey socks
KitKat bunny ears
chocolate craving
combs the SuperValu aisles
looking for a snack
motherless children
Flower leads the long-tailed pack
of Meercat mansion
sandpaper crystal
reflects the moon in a leaf
spring thaw flutters by
