April One

soon April will commence fully
from beneath the surging time
when I have perched
on the edge of memory
where, through oak trees
a ghostly light shines
down on dark woods,

but here-around me-are
the Windmill Palms, their hands
opening high to the sky,
for blessed indeed
are the songs
of warblers and sparrows

yet, again, I'm a fool today
with my naive poetry
its lines executed so hastily
then to be left alone
like a wet painting
