universal
declaration 
or 
printemps
avant le lettre 
somebody is saying spring 
still chill first thing 
they tendril tell it 
over fence 
a prance of calves
and through, as if there were none 
someone is out of the pouch
runs rings around all care 
you can hear the dew drip mornings 
suns says 
day is stretching out to its full length 
and graze and rotate ears 
and stare 
till now I am these words alone 
and in a garden of them glisten
frogs have called off night
sink deep 
so someone of a silence 
choir-like 
because of no one knows 
(science for an afterthought)
no time at all from here 
now leaves are too busy to fall 
flowers come to their naming  
the insect air 
now mainly bees
though there are unknown others
who can’t tell green from blue 
and all for a first time 
never before
mere admiration 
soaks up 
moments, hours, days 
all of us precious 
belonging this once 
and all this while 
someone was climbing 
out of this blue 
into more 
it’s secret 
and true 
and it won’t come again 
no one can hear it 
but everyone knows
someone is saying 
spring 
 
flowers come to their naming ... I'll raise me stamen to that
