here today there is
the feel of fall
crisp apple chill
in the gray air
chickadees bemused
by lack of snow
robin sentry-straight
on shingles, orange
flash against the deep
green breath of April rain
iris, lilac, spice
viburnum bleary-eyed
awakening too soon
from winter’s sleep
seeking the solace
of summer sun
