The Noisiest Spring

The Noisiest Spring

Past the blooming calla lilies
The struggling petunias of the garden
Beyond iris flowered and gone

Fleabane on stone
Bergenia along still-dry moss.
Madness
Of red rhododendron in the woods.

Air-polished,
The distant snows shine.
The river water, as we are told,
Is clear,
Drinkable

A leopard, or was that two?
Wait for the lights to change.
A foursome of deer move
From the rough to the green.
A civet cat not seen
Sets out to examine the marketplace.

We watch from our windows,

The noisiest spring of the century goes by.
