Spring Ahead

By Tony Brown

I love the way dead things
are revealed sodden on the lawn
once the mud arrives.

I love how idiotic
the first flowers look
when mocked by late snow.

I love having
the first bees
sting me,

I love the way they die
in the aftermath of battle
and not in the heat of it.

Mostly, I love
the way green
becomes the new white,

how it’s still
just a blanket
over rot.
