Spring so early
you probably would call it cabin fever

​A discarded prophylactic package
in the now melting lower pond,
one of those little Tiffany turquoise squares,
emerging from winters gray ice,
leading to thoughts...I don’t pursue.

​But I sense an event
under the covers of darkness,
now exposed in the soft morning,
for along the pond's edge
tree reflections have returned.

​Today the earth is maybe,
finally, beginning
to move on its axis.
