under the sun
the shadow of
a wing
before it flies
away
a sunny day
~one of the first this spring~
some of it spent
chipping away at ice
and snow
and surprised to find
that even after a long winter
you find yourself feeling
a little melancholy
as it all begins
to melt
away
fluffy snowflakes falling
in the sun
then
melting
melting
melting
***
tonight
turning clocks forward
***
heading
the
other
way
