Oh my dear Lord, another new poem!

A friend recently asked me why I had not "posted anything new" in a while, and I felt very guilty. Here is a poem about the weird Spring we have had here in Omaha.

Yes, it is short, but still, it is new

Enjoy!

APRIL, 2005

Spring is crawling,
staggering,
and stumbling
towards the city
this morning;

sleep comes easy
when windchills
playfully slap
around the edges
of your skin

and the day
is almost done
before you see
the new life
standing firm
in the still earth.
