Rumbles of thunder
promise that soon fat raindrops
will bring refreshment.

Rumbles of thunder
promise that soon fat raindrops
will bring refreshment.
When’s the right time to
wash winter blankets? Last night
I saw snowflakes fall.
Earthworms emerge, splayed
across sidewalks, tender skin
snags on rough concrete.
Dog is lagging yet
clear skies pale green leaves urge me
to linger longer.
A romantic name
for a seagull poop splashed walk
among spray and rocks.
Where river meets lake
we stand as Toronto gleams
across the waters.
Just water on rock.
And yet, sheer power compels
visitors to gape.
She curls around the
baby like a spiral shell
protecting its snail.
An unexpected
crocus emerges, smiling
from a brown leaf pile.
No one waters them.
Tiny cells plead, but TV
seems more important.
