February 23

The driveway melts off faster than the snow can pile up. Rabbit tracks spread to hare-sized, Harvey-sized. It rains, it snows, it sleets, it runs off. It does all four at once. The wind whips water everywhere. Alarming sound of burst pipes is just the roof gushing onto the cellar doors.

Robins and seagulls are becalmed only an hour south. It is ridiculous to pretend this is not March.

Thousands of crows swirl
like bats at dusk: almost time
to break camp and go.
