                                   Green

I am the color green

your eyes crave.

Late March,

by now the pines

are insufficient.

I am that half-remembered

tender-green,

color of longing

curled in the earth

til the first inkling

of thaw

asleep in the deep

of a frozen pond,

a promise in my throat

I am on my way to you.
