the wind
in the evergreens
the red-tailed hawk
the rising flowers
the dead burdock

harbingers of spring
aren't they all
are you still listening
to your heart's call

the smell
of grass burning
the pull of the rake
thoughts about summer
the trail and the lake

to whom do you pray
did you give your soul
back there in winter
in the incense glow

the planting of onions
in the fresh-churned soil
the airing of rooms
the enchanted toil

we sit here together
drinking cold beers
on a porch needing paint
and laughter and tears

the days
that bind us
the starry nights too
may the future find us
as honest and true
