The 1st Day of Spring (1983)

We got six inches last night
six!
I sat up most of the night watching
snow.
And I stood outside this afternoon
And filled my lungs with that cold air
I thought of winters past
Those same winter clouds from Ontario I think.
And I remembered another night I stayed up watching
stars.
that was ten years ago now Jan
Ten!
It was summer then, and we said goodbye
I told you I knew your secret
Jans a lover I said .
And now its the first day of spring
And winter whispers a secret
She's a lover, she hates to say goodbye.
