I have to eat the spring

Gulp down its green life

Bite the buds

Chew on the writhing stalks

Swallow green energy

I have to eat the spring

Winter was a meagre time

An era of starvation

Spring is full and wide and deep

Its promise speaks deliciously to me

I have to eat the spring

Nibbling it won’t be enough

I have to make a banquet...

I pull the curtains on the blackbird’s song

The youth of the year’s calling

I’m safe indoors

Stoke up the fire

Let winter last so long

That spring will come

Too late

Too late for me

The blackbird's song

It only brings back a past ache

Let young ears hear the blackbird’s song

As old ears quake

This dusk time is too raw for me
