Storms have fronts.
What we hear about
Is how the storm comes
What it brings
There are perimeters
To storms
Beginnings and endings
Limits
Bound by time and space
Storms move on
Take us with them
Leave us behind
Leave us alone
Like this daffodil
Caught in a late winter
Squall
Tundra-like cold
That hardened
The earth
But eventually let go
And here we are
Effacing ourselves
Into a new time
Giving birth
To warmth and light,
But this daffodil drinking the sun
Was here the whole time
And saw it all,
And felt it, too.
Wishing peace for Ukraine
with a nod to Gilgamesh
Whose story might yet teach us
How to tame a monster
