Not the Season

Not the season

Not spring
by a long shot.
Winter by the calendar
but the snow is melting away
Reluctantly.

Too cold for fall
too dry for winter
Spring to my lilac's internal clock
buds already forming
Eagerly.

I sit at the window
bathed in winter sun
streaming low into the studio
Dreaming of summer's colors
Brilliantly.
