March Begins

And the light of course
is changed
But still the grime-covered mounds
of icy snow
like great beasts of winter
slumbering roadside

My first glimpse
of the unsure morning sun
a gulp of well-being
its latent strength recalling
elastic days of spring and summer,
the saturated days of fall

Spring rain in the railyard, Centralia, Washington
