NaPoWriMo 4-2-2014

I'm not sure
what you'd like to learn
from me
about
early spring,

otherwise
I would say more.

There was that southern
Michigan April -
driver's licenses tucked tight in
wallets -
when nonetheless

we climbed ladder-like
tree limbs
and continued to pretend.

Eight-barrel
evenings
pulled themselves
along
inland lakes -

over dusk and across
Sundays.

That's the way it was;

Joy Division,
Buddy Holly,
and the Gaithers.

Later, alone,
I dreamed
tin-gold dawns;
lists of ways to wait.
