The lilacs will be here any minute
Forsythia is happening and so is coltsfoot on the roadsides
Daffodils are happening and little blue flowers I don’t know yet
Breakfast & dinner outside is happening
as the roosters chase each other inside their fencing
Grass is greening fast with full moon energy
The tomato starts are waving at the brassicas in the porch breeze
It is time for a hat with a brim that goes all the way around
It’s time for dandelions for dinner & ramps for lunch
The violets just showed their shy purple faces yesterday before the rain
The marsh marigolds are practically everywhere
Spring is touching us all with the a wand invisible & bright
“Schwenk” by Fairfield Porter, 1959.
