March Madness: Walking the park

Colors collide
Blend and vibrate in ice and snow and
The yellowing of the willow

October skies fill March air
colors of fall are mulched
by blades of grass and crocus piercing the
Frozen layer of the last years

March is mad
with color,
Blood red twigs
Lime green mosses
Burnt umber river bottom freed from its
Crystalline crust of grey blue ice
Frost, rhyme, micro glaciers linger
In the deep shadows of winter.

And it is April—

In memoria of winter
