Tiger Or Lion

By Tony Brown

Before a hyacinth blooms
or tulips and daffodils
stick their commonplace faces
into the air,

spring shall be announced
in the impatience of housecats
who try to escape outdoors,
who succeed now and again,

who long to sit by the street
and imagine themselves
suddenly tiger
or lion.
