Temperaments of Spring
digress in morning’s dew.
Weighted heart of man
trudges through the fray.
Nakedness of season looms
In brittle Hawthorn branches.
His pocket of water dotted
in kaleidoscopes of blue.
He wades forth with penitent heart
casting in a silent metronome
of steeled waters sweet.
He alone among the grey.
