 the arrival of spring (cathe waller) by Rg Gregory 
						on the last day of winter i went to bedharsh winds rainstorms beating my head
 houses trees with a sucked-out look
 new year flaked from the old one's hook
 
 then overnight such a change of heart
 spring come home with her confectionery cart
 hundreds-and-thousands strewn in the breeze
 houses sampling them as well as the trees
 
 people savouring them in punts on the river
 earth knee-deep in them praising the giver
 so (blankets off) i'm out in the streets
 glutton for spring and her burst bag of sweets
