A hint of spring, pregnant
floating on the air
a wisp of the turning
in the rain falling
wind blowing
in the January thaw
As regular as the season
that bit of teasing
melting the snow back
confusing the buds
The sun warming the ground
shoots of the early garden
a hint of green, falling back
under the new snow
