Something Coming Up

Sun to rain, then sun again.
Early April is a switch hitter,
and if snow shows up, even more so.
But I'll take this gladly,
even though there's frost on the car some mornings,
even though the all the winter's trash finally reveals itself
after months under the snow,
even though the funerals are almost daily now
at St. Casimirs across the street,
there is still
the sign of growth in the gardens;
something coming up through the dead leaves.
