Poem For First Day Of Spring: “Sprung”




the first birdchirp of the year has cracked
blooming in a week are thee lilacs —
everything Earthly in Spring is beginning anew

& so you again too (whyyyy)
well since it’s better to live than it is to die
thus then therefore it’s better to thrive than merely survive

so as thee poets become babbling brooks,
& the sprouts are shooting up from their roots
let me tell you, the birds & the bees are currently getting struck by Eros Cupid

yes, now, the squirrels frolick in their pairs,
lovebirds singing everywhere
lovebirds singing everywhere,
that precious song
that is Love
is in the air

so as you scrub your spring cleanin’
you have a reason to be beaming
mr right is right here or if he’s elsewhere, he has a clue
