snow reappeared today
spring arrived and departed
almost overnight
the birds stayed
even a lone hummingbird
fresh up from Mexico
haunts the frozen feeders
the garden area is tilled
waiting
spring comes late
to the mountains
and summer is brief
evening shadows beckon
nighttime’s chill
and sweaters are welcomed
the seasons shall continue
long after our futile complaints
are swallowed up by time
but damn!
I am ready to plant…
