April's Sudden Enlightenment
April’s Sudden Enlightenment
By Stina Lu
April walks down from the decaying Chinese rose
Pushes away the flirty wind
Neglects the sunlight’s sudden closeness and farness
Leaves wear a shining green crown
which is granted by the season
All charming flowers are ordered to fade
The tadpoles are observant
They turn into frogs, boasting and swaggering
Birds in the woods are innocently delighted
Singing an ode on the shivering throne
A powerful symphony of destiny
has hijacked the fragile ears of April
Spring thunder is frightened into silence
Rains are hiding in the clouds, self-blaming
Wounded and scarred
Flourishing flowers of yesterday
lying on the ground
Under a Lime Tree is April suddenly enlightened :
Forgive all the lives, as the deaths always do
