Verdurous tufts and the tips of hyacinth
push through dried grass and barren ground
beneath a deliberate sun, the heavy sighs 
of winter all but forgotten.

Can you trust the luck offered
by a cricket on the hearth
when it's cast in solid brass
and its hind legs stay attached
with Phillips-head screws?
