Fool’s Day

April

Green again?

My lover hates the brown Earth and stark trees

While I yearn for everything to be swaddled in white.

Peaceful, quiet white.

Tomorrow the robins will show their freckled faces

and poke holes around the weeds in my yard.

Already what has been sleeping while my fingers sought

snowflakes that never flew, has awakened on this

Fool’s Day. I surrender. That blanket of ice

will have to come another day.
