2008/hard

Hard frost on our false
spring.
Yesterday an unexpected rain,
they called it a down pour.
The day before petals
from the ornamental
fruit trees
blew in our hair.
They break into bloom
over night all along
our wide streets.
I hoped to pick
them,
now it may be
too late.
Hard winter
deep frost
sudden rain
false spring.
Deep winter
false spring
hard frost
melts from the roof
like rain.
