SPILT PAINT

Our canyon gleams
with sunlit shades
of rejuvenated green,

dirt tracks damp
after rain, white skiffs
of popcorn flowers

primed to usurp the flats
and gentle slopes
to divvy up with gilded

fiddleneck before the blue
lupine and golden poppies
display the sloppy guise

of springtime’s spilt paint
for photographs, daydreams
and April showers.
