The End

 The End

of white ground all around—

because the snowplow has scraped up

curls of mud now flattened over our parking lot—

a mess awaiting April showers.

I check my phone for weather predictions—

earliest rain comes today at noon and again at two.

Maybe even the hardened slush will be gone—

yes— the high comes at 4pm and -- 60 degrees!

Looks like the March winds have blown their last

and tomorrow really will be April—

just what the birds have talked about for days.

Others have seen Robins— today, my turn?
