the second day of spring


the second day of spring has it easy no one steps outside looking for him to have had prepared a diorama of hope so huge it crushes all memory of being cold instead people just enjoy whatever warmth there is the second day of spring just waltzes in all breezy carefree never wondering who kicked down the doors of winter who shattered the shackles of despair yeah that's right it was me driving darkness back making way for him to just sit there and smile that smug smile i'd get up and punch him except, well, it was a long night last night springwine was everywhere and dancing with dryads and maybe i'll just lie here for a while
