some thing like / that

this is a poem about

no thing much / a poem

about tired / & late march & how
sparkle of frost st.ill covers / coats
any thing damp can touch



this is a poem about

lost / or was it love or / was it
i can't remember now

seems to me / there's been far too much
bad poetry



so you take me / this way & that way
& i'm never quite sure / what i'm doing

no definite plan / just a long list of may bees

& the garden lays dormant / it's the slow warm ing
snow drops lift ing their heavy white heads / i'm certain
they shiver @ sun set / nite heavy with frost / st.ill so
close to /that side of the sun



& the snow / so sneaky / melts silent /
runs rivlets down the mountain / pools in the slough
in the field behind

brown lawn emerges / cautious / soft / weeds wait ing
&
i be gin

to work the gardens as they appear / bit by bit /
ground waits for me / eager for spring
