February is a Green Month
February
is a green month,
a
baby sweetness
about
its bare shoulders.
All
the beginnings of hope
in
its clean, spare landscape:
a
slight twist of hunger
in
its empty fields,
the
enclosed memory of stones.
under
the hedge,
a
tremble of snowdrops.
Sunlight
making a plaid of gold,
wind
and smoke.
Ivy
shimmies round the hawthorn,
this
is happiness,
the
smell of earth.
