what do the robins think
when a big blizzard belts us in April
just started a nest finding worms
in thawing ground
ready to begin a new life in northern plain
with open skies and long sunny days
but winter isn’t done with us yet
snow coating branches
cold wind wiping memory
of peaceful preview of summer
so where do you go plump red breasts
to endure the weather
to emerge once more when the storm passes
and lift our thoughts away from brutal invasion
wintry hearts in need of feathery love
