Lover’s Season

Lovers must wait for spring
for the warm sap
and green lithe
to return to their souls
Spores cling
seedpods anxious to burst
and you catch the hint
of your mate on the bluster
before the clear blood of rain
drips it fresh and new
On your lover’s body
thoughts are written:
no longer of denying cold
but of rejoicing the warmth
April nights bring no stars for wishing
The time for wishing is over
the vivid green inhibition of spring
is here

A few decades later, his cube has a view of a pine that gets irritated at the lightest of breezes. There are passionate sunsets in the winter and a constant flux of cars overtop of 90% of the asphalt in the valley. They pay him to look out this window now. Never underestimate how far your weaknesses will take you. Sometimes he looks out other windows. He calls that poetry. J. Kevin Wolfe's poems have appeared in over 60 ezines and in a dozen print publications. 'The Year of Purple Lawn Furniture' is a collection of new poems. J.
