Daylight Savings
March 3
Late winter loosens
Snow softens in shaded woods
Watershed waiting.
Route 214
Sleet on the Clove road
Barred owls calling through twilight
Snowdrifts reach for stars.
Sixty-Five
Suddenly it’s March—
Grilled cheese with Mr. B. B.
We eat in the sun.
Spring Entering My House
Warm windowsills teem
Ladybugs wake in the walls
Spring finding the cracks.
Thaw
Ice slackens its hold
Floes drift with the Hudson tide
Sea moving northward.
Runoff
Stony Clove wakes up
Esopus and Hudson rise
Water, everywhere.
Daylight Savings
Light staying longer
Rivers loud in ruddy beds
Scent of rain returns.
