Not Everyone's Harbinger of Spring

The skunk cabbage has sprouted

in the low, wet woods --

a small hamlet has formed there.

Curious, carnivorous heads

peer through moss trimmed windows,

squint at the afternoon sun,

size up the forecast

for winged things flitting past

to fathom

whether unfurling fully

is yet worthwhile.

time enough

restless edgy achy from the wait  time to unfurl sprout feel the sun shine
