the eternal spring
first there was january’s thaw
followed by february’s
and then came march
each time afterward
winter reminded how winter
loves to wield its influence
eventually the water pump
would be plunged
back into the garden well
and the pondless waterfall
would once again
extend its invitation to a world
deep in comfort & imagination
april two thousand twenty-five
