- It is still very cold
by L.A. or S.F. standards
the ground remains extendedly wet
moss growing green on stones.
And though evenings are still long
- afternoons still fleetingly short -
the way home is getting lighter
in the last glows of the sky
lingering after the sunset
tendering of spring to come.
