Of course there are dull days
aplenty in spring;
but it gladdens your eye to drink in,
everywhere, soft young leaves:
the golden-greens,
the olive greens.

And you know,
some of these trees quiver
autumnal resonance:
it's their new leafing
as in old unleaving,
a bittiness! the easy way
light dances through,
as if something might be redeemed.

Don't say I begrudge
any of them their
necessities of rain.
