blackbirds singing by the pond
notwithstanding
It's still winter,
momentary snow amidst the rain
attesting
And it's still enough
to find a way to feed and warm ourselves
and take the time to watch the snow
command the scene
for the brief time
of its ascendancy
We will make progress
and measure it
not against our endless list of tasks
but in the pace
of winter's strict permissions.
