what more is there to say about
april?
these moments between snow & summer
I've become windstruck
& overwhelmed with
the listening
a quarreling of two airs, unsame
the quickening, quivering of
a mysterious sky
its dark arguments
sharp-edged & lashing
the way it lifts barn shingles
then kneels
curses, echoing the valley
it's as if a dozen years of obscenities
thunder the distance between
the root cellar & the roughs
I find it too familiar here
these broken miles just before
the harsh light returns to blur
all things blue & affinal
like a gathering of half-breaths
captured unaware by the stilling
winter has only slowed the ghosts
