*dandelion seeds too tight to fly-- frozen Spring lovers stream breeze-- pollen ripples into sun, brace of current bed inflorescent burst--                     hikers' boots beside a pool                               on sun-baked rocks green buds ***** the air-- in corymb echoes, fuzz of leaves water-sounds cascade-- moss-drops, trickles; dog-splash, falls; gurgles under foot the tones of waves tiny on the smooth shore lipping on stem-length stars, streaming rays of sun and water's deep shade gentle eddies over stone-- one world, one world froth twirl and tendril under Spring brook shade-- so clear beneath burl-sprouts misted bright, cups of water, forest thirst                  waterfall gasp--                                             the cold! the winter! now swim! the first breaths Spring Misogi-- pummeled muscles-- grin of mossy heart your wet shirt against my chest --hot love-- thunderous winter-melt we sink laughing, numb in Spring's fluids-- our voices drown papaya lunch-- a tropic fruit and i am home sweaty backpack-- two beloved women hike, my heart weightless cliff-jumpers-- green from nostalgia, i hit bottomless cameras first, avert canopy surprise-- Spring screen black-backed iridesce-- warm beetle slips in and out of scree barefoot in the stream, our hands and voices smooth-- ankle sprain Spring paths-- a parent's visit breathes new life my womb-maker from another life-- ageless comfort her haiku eyes-- water shining sun green bloom here again * \|/
