Beyond All Green
BEYOND ALL GREEN
There is a green
Beyond all green
That peeks around the wintry white.
tender green so daunting
that tears slip from the eyes
and turn to dew upon the ground.
the green so sweet
that from the grave
beloved dead burst into flowers
before the snowmelt sings the last breath of high summer.
Bird song
Dances
with warbling sweetness of the green---
'Til green tumble-slides down mountains
with a slam into the frigid sea---
Taunting
Enticing
Iceberg Blue to sing reply.
