A Spring Romance
Slowly, tenderly, sweet-scentedly,
This end of March wends toward me,
As if intending to make love to my psyche.
To pretend my hibernal heart isn't starved
Would be cruel self-delusion.
Indeed, it's spent too much winter shivering,
Craving the ripeness of summer's intimacy,
To miss nature's primal signs,
Invitations to join her, in conceiving spring.
This high-sixty-degree night,
I accept her rife overtures, inhale her breath,
Offer her my naked embrace.
