scentless winter over
snow melts
evacuates into the soil
-under Springs attention-
our strained eyes are relieved
with the dismissal
of the reflective precipitation
Springs arrival elevates mood
alleviates the heart halved by Winter
'thirsty things firstly' ;
from the groundswell and sponge
the air is steeped with earth
decay to life

with the dismissal
of the reflective precipitation

alt version
melting winter evacuates into the earth
a swelling sponge
thirsty things firstly
saturation of decay
brings earth to our dry nostrils
our aching eyes are relieved of the reflective snow
as it is fully dismissed by springtime
