marker
human’s spring marker
naming the equinox
but spring is the weather
more than a date
as I write, first of March,
signs even now—
yard drenched in yellow,
happy daffodil faces
the little tete-a-tetes
braving the cool
and the first pearl iris
unfurled today
yet we still call it winter
we’re so keen to label—
but, this blossom unique
from its sisters, shines
for a few days
once in eternity
only once
