With poems already begun
every line
pulls in another direction.
Each tries to trick me
into its own time and place.
Summer, autumn, winter, pass.
Only spring is hesitant
to appear here among these words
as if it were afraid
for its blossoms,
as if it were agonizing
whether to entrust
its treasures
and the promise of May
to my frost-silvered lines.
(Rachel Korn)
