Spring Again - Bruce Moody

[Larry Robinson]

Spring Again

 

Again the violet rises from the underground,

the rose from Hades grows.

 

What rocked their lives into life

also shoved the mountains into skies,

forged the wind that chiseled them,

deepened already deep seas.

 

God of the underworld, Pluto of the gold –

let me pay for the privilege of life,

let me bow in gratitude 

for eternal Time into which I came

and through whose beaded curtain pass.

 

Thank you for the torture of the roots

that made this spring of letters

flower on this page like iris, like ixia, 

like eyes that write the air and see.
