Spring, says the calendar

 


Spring is like a perhaps hand


 
Spring is like a perhaps hand


(which comes carefully


out of Nowhere) arranging


a window, into which people look (while


people stare


arranging and changing placing


carefully there a strange


thing and a known thing here) and


 


changing everything carefully


 


spring is like a perhaps


Hand in a window


(carefully to


and fro moving New and


Old things, while


people stare carefully


moving a perhaps


fraction of flower here placing


an inch of air there) and


 


without breaking anything.


 


e. e. cummings


 


How did I miss the arrival of Spring? Here in the Pacific Northwest, rain and endless gloom have erased all memory of a hopeful season. Still, the calendar says March 20th, Spring Equinox.  Is it spring in your world? Can you feel the hand changing everything carefully?
