Spring’s painful ritual





Friday, April 10, 2015

The ache is always an ache
This earthy time when things burst
Inside and out,
The remnants of chill
Chipped away with each rising degree,
This elevation that pounds away
At the containment
Until everything explodes
The ache is always an ache
Rubbing against the world
Until friction set me free,
This time, this moment, always painful
In a way that is not painful at all,
The elaborate ritual
We need to succeed at the most basic
Of faiths, this belief we will rise up
And flow out over this frigid existence.
Each time this time, I come to love the ache
For what I might expect it to lead to,
The bursting and the delight
That comes after we churn up
The heat, and blossom,
This ache is always the ache
And will always make me feel free.
