first signs of spring
everything came out of hiding
except of course
that which devoured
the other thing
like the worm to the robin
or the flower to the deer
trees blossom above the concrete
dwarfed by sun-hungry high rises
giving temporary shelter
to angels warming their wings
rising above the surface
transitory spirits take to the streets
assessing what the winter had done
by taking a simple counting of heads
april two thousand sixteen

Beautiful
thank you
The thought of angels hungry for warmth is chilling enough
sometimes the city can be cold….
