by scott from jail
Haven't dropped from the plum tree outside
Yet.
The winter accumulates force, and soon
All the wind's cold
Ratchetting down upon us will say
To me, to us,
How Does This Go Again
The last leaves will fall
Splaying the crazy, stilted lines of black branches
Cracking into grey ice-bound time
Yearning, longing, heaving, sighing
Waiting silently for that scrimped up
Patch of brown beneath the snow-clad stick of a young plum tree
To ask regarding March,
How Does This Go Again?
