FOUR POINTS ON THE POEM “”MARCH”

Between the gravestones,

Going with flowers,

Newspapers, minutes

In its teeth,

the march wind

suddenly returns

and then starts off again,

with some other

fragments of life

pressed to its thin chest.

Its mad rhythms

Confuse the trees

This wind is the

language

of indecision that

winter speaks when

it opens its slow mouth

to let April in.

Dark vacancies of forest fire,

Shifting planes of pollen:

Cold fills one window,

a sort of spring the other.
