It’s only spring that sits on your shelf
aching to be seen
banging at the window like a banshee
furious with colorful flowers
spilling from the world

while you try and get yourself together
and bunch pity in a bouquet
it sits and laughs on a park bench

enjoying your losses under the sun

Have enjoyed it so much, wanted to quote my favourite verse. But that will end up in quoting the whole poem.

Love it! You described pity so well it comes alive.

I have tried very often to capture this and you have done it. You personified it, and presented it with unlikely images--

banging at the window like a banshee
furious with colorful flowers

there are some complex emotions in the visual of that, and then, you sum it up, with the feeling of entitlement

"enjoying your losses under the sun"

quite an amazing gathering of words here, and I applaud the artistry of the whole of the presentation.

Impressive.
