Terra
There
is evidence of spring everywhere
A
pair of geese, into a headwind / point north
The
shed door shuts easier now
Rain
water comes to the meadows
Planks
are thrown down
Passing
It
is Spring
Already
you relax in a cotton skirt
Passing
through mountains is a strong feeling
Fields
plowed, new wood split, a hawk floating
Puffs
of softwood in the gray hills
A
river runs with snow melting
A
small bridge neatly built to get by
There
is pleasure in such places
An
old woman and her huge straw hat
Raking
the far corner of a hayfield
