Winter/grief
will return
but
green/resurrection
will
follow
Wind blows
cold
over lingering
drifts
but the snowdrops
are waiting
when I come
to visit
and
the green tips
of crocuses
soon
to bloom
Mink
jumps
spring spine
slides
behind
a rock
and into
a hidden
portal
to open
water
Lady Sun
tells Spring
Take my hand
together
we'll take
two steps
back
and one
forward
