Crossing into spring
to move the low cattle up
to let the grass grow.

Warm hillsides melting
the Ides of February
in puddles of gold.

just weaned from relieved mothers
like peas in a pod.

Sun sets on the sighs
that cling to wet hills grinning
color into clouds.

This close to heaven,
just below the timberline
pine trees climb and wait.
