Spring About to Sprout
four geese smoothly and slowly glide
curiously glancing an object extracted
by a fisherman reeling in a rainbow trout
on a catch and release day
tickles my feet underneath, they honk
interacting with the lake's wakes
after months and months of winter
first weather in the seventies
as two hunting dogs get their paws wet
and their master calls them back
following run-off from the waking forest
into melted ice flowing over the dam
as i ponder bare trees on the banks
ridge slopes seasonally revealed
green land after buds blossom
as three more geese move away from shore
i sit where i can see my reflection
and shoe mud drips into the brackish water
on the first day of a giant escape
nothing to understand or shout about
know it will all work out
with spring about to sprout
