snow disappeared yesterday
more fell last night
geese nest by ponds
and eagles
intimates
to the whims of gods
mate along rivers
falling snow
marked vernal
celebrations
no violets
delicate heralds
peek
through greening grass
ice glazes roads
television ads
promote images
barbeques and mowers
barefoot children
play in cascading water
only one herald
announces the change
of season
in words I understand
today, the ice cracked
