Colors collide Blend and vibrate in ice and snow and The yellowing of the willow October skies fill March air colors of fall are mulched by blades of grass and crocus piercing the Frozen layer of the last years

March is mad with color, Blood red twigs Lime green mosses

Burnt umber river bottom freed from its Crystalline crust of grey-blue ice Frost, rhyme, micro glaciers linger In the deep shadows of winter. And it is April —
