Earth pretends to have
Terminal Spring,
But cowers as the month of March
Often does.

Hides behind its snowy stones and
Raining walls.
Not quite confident enough to
Expose its vulnerable, naked flesh.

We smile at this pornography as we
shield our eyes from the
Laughing sun.

Then we attach to an umbrella as we
Silently wait for April's spring.
