my write hand

i lost you in the spring

- May 17 -

in may, i learned this truth:
i bloom, not to offer
what’s left of you
to a warm wind
like the frosted ashes of a term’s casualty,
but to feed
what last winter
has made bare.
like a sprout
heaving the cold
from its limbs,
it is also my birthright to bud.
