We were confused by sudden
spring: by warmth that forced
blooms open ahead of their
flowering—
And we were taken
aback by storms
that pelted pavements
with fistfuls of hail—
And in the east, a pall
descended on the city
in the aftermath
of flood—
In some places,
people clung to cross-
beams on telephone
poles—
And even the birds
held deathly still,
merely swiveling
their heads—
In response to an entry from the Morning Porch.
