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
