Restrictions: None
spring in Memphis
blink.
between one moment and the next
spring ends the death of winter
with willow fronds,
catching on every tree
until they are painted greens.
elevate your face.
the first warm rain soaks the air,
warming the world into
whites and pinks
and blues and yellows until
blossoms burst forth on every fruit tree,
on every azalea bush,
between the long thin
hope of daffodils.
breathe deep.
the air is thick.
tiny white petals float on every breeze
and pollen is visible.
it coats every surface
in green, wafts up
with every footstep.
