The green age woke pregnant
Unaware the horned God had laid with it,
Through sleep filled eves of winter.
*
Rise Ertha, press of frost
Has been relieved
From your maternal cloths,
Your body heaved
As Aprils water broke;
And now a closer sun
Smoothes out
All wrinkles and wet pleats....
*
Branches, bare (mute is air)
Until the baby spring arrives,
Cooing poems with lines
That stir the naked twigs
To bloom and leafy dress;
And call the birds, with ancient songs
From south to north to nest .
*
All in the choir sing hosannas,
Trees and birds, myself and beasts
Raise our voices to the Goddess,
That allows us, suckle on her manna's.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
