Subject(s): Spring
I never knew that Spring could be like this,
That losing you could make me fear to see
Trees trembling with green life. I only miss
Their naked, slim impersonality
Of winter days. Yet, Spring has brought again
A sky filled with impatient clouds that dare
To haunt me with their smell of unborn rain
And wild birds in half-mutilated air.
All these we used to share; we would intrude
On some quiet stream to laugh at frankly nude
Brown rocks along the bank... and so found Spring,
I never thought that you would take the thing
That was our love, or hoard such joys as this
Somewhere beyond my life's parenthesis.
