12,757. SOMETIMES THEY SAY

SOMETIMES THEY SAY
There are signs of the Spring
but they hide yet sing : holes
in the pistol-side oak where 
squirrels scurry; the marginal 
flight of a new, early bird. It 
never fails. How soon one or 
two are found, dead, in the 
street, and before they've 
even grown  feathers, just
down. Without a doubt, 
some parts of this life are 
cruel, not merry.
