They Tell Me Now
by
McKenna Byrne
They tell me now: "spring is here again;
Spring forward on your clock; you'll lose the hour
Of sleep - but the wind feels warmer and the rain
Is intermittent - a little drumming shower
At most, you know," this is what I hear.
But to my unresurrected heart
It could be almost any time of year
Since circumstance compelled our lives apart.
I am aware I do not come refined
Like others, through the winter; well prepared
For coming seasons, warmer and more kind,
Since passing time has left me unrepaired
And I am unrevolving - one who will
Always wonder if it's spring or winter still.
