Cast forward to those first days
where half clad trees
coax memories of freshness
though you’ve stepped out
wrapped still in winter blues,
insistent sun and boisterous green
beguile you to disrobe
and give skin to this
welcome discomfort
at being over-encumbered
as the new season embraces,
the shedding can begin
