IDAHO SPRING, by                    
First Line: Sagebrush heavy in the spring
Last Line: Aye, spring is here!
Subject(s): Spring


Sagebrush heavy in the spring
With raindrops. Here
Long-eared rabbits loping, cling
To worn paths. Fear
Hastens padded feet. A swift
Glides smoothly through wet lava ash.
Herons trailing slender feet drift
Through the sky. A clash.
A scream. A coyote grey
And lean gaunt skillfully
Pounces. He dissects his prey
And on he skulks. Willfully
'Round porous rocks
Striped chipmunks peer.
A mud hen mocks --
Aye, spring is here!
