And who wouldn\u2019t in the redux of spring steer
\nclear of disappointed, more or less useless,<\/p>\n
you in your dumb cape, no bravado, more wick
\nthan burn? Painting your nails to attract fancy<\/p>\n
birds, but only two doves on the grass bored-
\nwhacko. What is the point of this much green,<\/p>\n
dart of finch easy on the eyes waiting all day
\nfor more rain? You don\u2019t know next,<\/p>\n
sitting in your mangy robe, orderly pink ribs
\nof chenille, still considering two roads,<\/p>\n
their hazard of weeds, anhedonic chimes.
\nMaybe it isn\u2019t the other or this, but living<\/p>\n
in between that you\u2019ve required.
\nNo more excruciating, no more you impaled<\/p>\n
on sticks demanding answers, just capitulation,
\na little letting go. It is something,<\/p>\n
this year of alone, a Ceylon shawl at your neck,
\na slight urge to eat, snug inside with your<\/p>\n
books and fires. Will you not see the force
\nof violets, wild amaryllis, sword ferns blown<\/p>\n
all directions? Dress yourself. A whole prairie
\nlooms there, plush, beside itself.<\/p>\n
