off
and on springs from the spring: from
spring-green crocus springs
forsythia blooming into the woods. particles
in the woods, in the clearing, poised - the ferns
unfurling the strands from trees into the light
the spring-floor light of mosses with
minutest blossoms the invisible
strands through the air the paths of insects
gathering to shape a hip a shoulder what
sprang here was forsythia fringe
chanced on in crocus-light ruderal flora
young "i" dreaming herself younger

late spring
says as much as a silly
double-flowering: a late spurt

says "i": repetition
is indulgence
