Springs Happiness

Pink explosions everywhere
and spackles of greenish white
squirrels waking up
to skitter and play
swollen river receding
brown, skirted by brilliant green
everyone happy
to be alive
Ah, Spring!

Live Song

Live Song


I heard him singing
the sound drifting
through the walls
with that distorted echo
that happens sometimes.
“Ah!”
I thought, “he is alive.”
He is a man
with song
