Now They Are Swelling



Dim, gray, cool morning;
Birds call and mist sweeps my face;
Woodpecker thrumming.

Woodpeckers' hammers
Echoes from both sides of the road.
Natives are restless.







Now they are swelling:
Yellow buds on brown branches.

Still the swing is empty.

Now the mist turns rain;
Soft patters fall on my hat--
The opening sky.

Drops fall on the pond
Pocking its glassy surface;
Calf runs with pleasure.
