FANTASTIC SPRING

by

Listen in the reader

Wear a lure fantastical, Farthingales of Spring, Till the out-worn city hearts Dance for you and sing.

Lime us with grotesque desires, Warm with green and gold; Apathetic we have grown, Tired and hard and old.

Draw us gently to your truth, Calm our hopes and fears; Till at last the grass blades speak To attentive ears.
