Last
week
we had a
foot of snow;
heavy
snow that broke tree branches.
And yet,
my tulips, halfway up,
and Scilla,
already blooming,
covered
in that same snow
are out
today
showy
and cheerful and thriving.
Spring
is relentless.
Try as
we might,
it can’t
be stopped.
Even
when it’s painful
even
when we aren’t prepared
even
when we can’t,
