rib cage released
breast to the heavens
breath to the heavens
we hide from blood
grizzle our enemy
we want it clean
linear as success
steel guardrails cleaving
once meandering waters

we hope for
spring sunrays
we reach for
buds beginning
we listen for
birdsongs rising
but the cold holds
and the people eye
gaudy power
sneering greed
we bundle up
again, scratchy
wool and bulky
coats, taking
to the streets
ardor within
