WRITTEN IN EARLY SPRING

 

 

WRITTEN IN EARLY SPRING

Arm me with the jonquil sword of kindness

through the clinging snows unmelted

The fierceness of it the fragility

The folk tale where the sun outlasts the wind

Its golden spears

Rain down butternut wonders from the trees

Golden effulgencies

The hoard of warmth hidden for emergencies

In the Mind of God.

The beautiful hearth of legend.

Where the moon burns to ash.

That formerly silver creatures may forage.
