woodpecker drumming . . .
a metal sap bucket
marks each maple
on the corner
of Winter and Spring Streets
a dead squirrel
first song sparrow
the warmth in the voice
of an old friend
first crocus
every song on the radio
a love song
sunlit rockweed . . .
sea ducks’ courtship calls
carry across the harbor
meltwater
a river rock struggles
against the current
March wind
a perched shrike teeters
between seasons
dreamdark all my grandfather’s clocks ticking . . .
we’ve been here before
mist softening
old snow
at odds
with the news
brightening skies
old snow not going anywhere : : featureless sky
