~ Spring in the Bitterroots ~

springing between clouds
a quick bold flicker of sun
kisses me breathless

windblown clothesline
the lone shirts arms
wrap around itself

swollen river
a boulders hollow thud -
all night long

no blossoms this spring
old cherry tree stark and bare
where she used to play

scarlet and sodden
beneath melting spring snow -
her Christmas mitten

purple sky
forests sharp black silhouette
the first owl

pensive virgin field
awakes in suns warm embrace
flushes timid green
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
fresh scent of rich earth
hands urge new life to flourish
greenhouse birthing room
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
old friend
in the greening meadow
hungry deer
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
streams fluid music
leaps over smooth stones
ice lullabies
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
surging purple swells
unfurl across the west peak
clamoring rain
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
pond ice freed from shore
dancing in the brisk wind
glints
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
vivid violet
hyacinths flex and hum
a bumble bee
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
mountain twilight
wild turkeys on the ridge
one gunshot
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
steady plow turns soil
wide acres of fresh black earth
hunger for new life
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
chain saw buzz
dead larch crashes
new firewood
![](springimages/springdiv2.gif)
spring in strong rhythm
copious rains rousing beat
lively tin roof jazz
