The Thaw's Blessing
THE THAW’S BLESSING
My river broke today into
Massive white daggers - choked up
Like icy teeth in an ogre’s mouth -
Under my bridge: like sins
Waiting to be dissolved
In the warming baptismal water
Of spring.
I was glad to see the lively water
Escape from its icy prison.
Keeping such life and beauty locked up
Is truly a sin.
