As seasons go,
Spring is the patient one
It seems to know
there is just this moment
then this one;
reminding me how to include
the back and forth
not with indifference (the near enemy)
but equanimity.
It makes space
for ice and algae
a kettle of hawks flying north
frost heaves
reminding me how to
pause with discomfort
not reacting (the near enemy)
but responding.
Like Hemingway's line,
"..gradually, then suddenly.."
brown, brown, brown
then everything's green.
