Trust
In a temperate zone
it is a cycle of promises—
spring will appear and wipe
away reminders of winter—
the pile of snow that resists melting,
icicles hanging off the roof edge
and bushes bent from the weight of winter
Spring is not happenstance
nor a fortunate phenomenon
or based on mathematical probability
nor the rermedy for Demeter’s
design for winter—instead
spring is woven from
the thread of creation
