Reconciliation

So, you have come back
and you’re not sorry
and you never really meant to leave
and we can start all over again.
Listen, Spring!
I am pretty damn well off:
the nights may be long and cold,
but the stars are clearer
and there’s the northern lights
and there’s some good old birds
that never go far
and the frost is good for my health.
With Winter, at least, I know where I stand….
and now you’ve come back.
O Spring!
