young man boards a full train
holding a small pot of green, sapling-
sparking color in room of grey scarves,
black coats and winter boots
i daydream of sleeping seeds
& blankets of sunshine & cups of tea
a white-haired couple stands near me,
talking animatedly, as if they are
in their own garden, reading the
same book & she has stars
in her eyes as he leans in to
kiss, lover in the intimate space--
their twining hands remind me
that spring does not vanish at winter's breath
but is blossoming
everywhere-
