Promises

    Spring is reluctant. She keeps
    making promises, then  rescinding
    them. Snow. More snow. Snow
    again. And you, so far . . .

    What would I want from you
    if you came to me now?
    To lie together, comforted
    by feathers. To speak quietly

    into the long silence. if you
    came to me now, I would lay out
    the silk bedcover, the mirrored
    cloth, the silver bowl. Now, snow.
