psalm VIII

green pushes out
onto wintered sticks
as if it was never gone  

though body
limbs
remember long ice ages
of black branches and
winter white
heavy trudge of endless February
now releasing its grip  

giving way
stepping aside
bowing to  

this green pale tender new
half formed leaf
chlorophyll
pulsing through a thousand veins
billions of times over
creating this  

welcome wonder
