spring is when things start to boil over people fall in love, break out of it, burn, awaken- the world wakes up and is born you look out the window and the air doesn't make you numb it quickens you, quickens something within you and your soul is alive again your soul is alive again your soul is alive again, so alive- and you can feel, and in this thawing, everyone collapses and falls together in a muddy mess we were pillars of ice standing alone but now we melt our fur stands on its wet ends as we yawn, calling for our mothers when for so long it seemed broken, dead and gray, all things suddenly are green, and so we find each other in spring.
