Spring Already
Rolling grey in this gusty garden, remnants
of last year's unharvested.
Rolling about this dusty, fogged head,
last year's forgotten joys:
blue skies agleam, a simple plot radiating,
glint gutters funneling a shower’s surprise,
daffodils early return amid inhaled hyacinth
hastened, lambs of April.

Storms seldom abate this season, longing
Spring revival to release me.
Out a smeared window, ice-crust soil slogged.
Leafy beds below windows do not burst
a thirst of green tubers, rooted underground.
Sun from heaven barely shines.
Cloud skies' gloom in April darken as doom
for garden flowers perennial reprise,
won't release wary eyes from winter’s guise.
