Spring

Picked over chicken bones of earth
brown and wet and strange
self-consciously naked
glancing away
the season where the eyes
skips to avoid
the ugly details
the orange Frost Heave
signs warning
bone-rattling ahead
and yet.

shyly acquiring
the faintest haze of green
slowly covering
strip tease in reverse
this is what I am
had you forgotten?
