The First of May

 

Funny how dull fruition is. 

Summer is a drone, a lullaby, 

While spring is glory, overwhelming reason, 

Stirring the blood, sparking the heart’s cold fire.

 

The becoming, I think, is everything;

Being is hardly worth the time

When birth, after all, is the only life,

And death is a dream

Out of which flowers wake,

Blinking in the newborn, mid-May sun

And smiling on the living-dying world.
