Mud season and the hope that spring brings
Naw-Rúz in the North

Mud season
And the end of winter's
Dreary grey before
New Years Day.
Every year:
Snow, rain, snow,
Sleet. Weeks

O
F

Madness
As the ice turns to mud
Returning to ice again.
Clouds gaslighting our
Hope for daffodils.

Notes: Naw-Rúz, at the spring equinox, is the beginning of New Year for Persians (1404/2584), Zoroastrians (1395 Y.Z./ 3783 ZRE) and Bahá'ís (2025 is Year 182 BE).
