Petals lace the sky
with
pink drawing
sunlight
closer to the heart.
Jealous
winter pounds its chest
to
rally icy clouds to storm the horizon,
but
songbirds drown its tantrum
with
the melody of Spring.
In a
frosted huff winter retreats
to
its tomb of dry leaves leaving spring
to
transform the ashy cheek of earth into
bold
brushstrokes of O’Keeffe.
