Spring

Wistful wisteria
lays in wait,
watching,
not knowing
that it is the day
before the leaves
appear

Naked branches
blanched in shyness,
scrape the ice
from the sky,
and know it is the day
before the leaves
appear

Frozen heart,
locked in loneliness,
sees the other
in herself
and feels it is the day
before the leaves
appear
