2 Simples for the 1st day of Spring

it was just about then that
i heard the weather break.
the sunshine drizzled with song
as fear shrunk behind bare branches
of trees tired of nakedness.
and as i sat there
hand holding with the breeze,
a smile creased my lonely face.


i stopped listening to phones
refused the smell of gasoline
and washed the skin of a red pear
happy
