Spring Strain
True how the sun rises
surmises
its equatorial, western disdain,
smudged more --
yet, geese strain
voices this spring again
while all the world supposedly changed --

life unbalanced spun
on a perpetual plane --

I see your colors change
but do not match the skies
I surmise,
seeking new tones not yet attained
I see you and hear you
not the same --
but the peepers sing,
crickets’ clarity still a-hum
night long again --

and when I close my eyes
it’s only dirt I wake to see

my ears are another thing.

Focus for this poem is on 'tones' and its duality (sight and sound).
