an
in-between time
like
the sun partially moving
past thick dark clouds
or the blossoming of magnolia
before a total acclimation
to spring
the
river valley will flood again
soonconfusing all the muscle car drivers
thinking it's summer
weeping with the demise
of the last drive-in movie
the beach on the river
where your hair slicks back
sunning on cold pebbles
old barges growing shrubbery
from their hulls
sumac still looking
for a place to root
