A new year

Jane Dougherty's avatarJane Dougherty Writes

Iványi_Springtime_Landscape_c._1910

Day dawns

Crisp crackly cold.

Birds wait with ruffled feathers

For the tepid sun to rise.

Another day,

Glacier-skied.

On the bare rose tree

Last blooms cling,

Brown and mummified.

Spring waits.

No new year on a sudden,

Imperceptible changes creep

With the stately majesty of the wheeling stars.

Deep in the earth where worms snout,

And warm-blooded creatures curl,

Hair trembles with electric frost,

Sensory captors waiting, poised,

For the first stirrings.

None of our proclamations

And frenzied, cork-popping, tinsel-laden

Celebrations

Hurry the smallest seed

One second closer

To its green destiny.
