SPRING ON THE POND

 

animation suspended

no life in snow

 

just days from now this pond will teem

with newborn beings

to stock the world

          with every species

                   two by two in billions

                             the genesis of all existence

 

but now the pond lies still

 

no life in snow

animation suspended
