too early

too early to dive, to swim

or for fishing

too early to make love

to make a nest, or for dreaming

some yell at the lake still frozen

to dive, swim, or fishing

some, perhaps, more matured

wait, patiently, until the wind blows

and the sun softens to melt

thick ice to water

that the fish may come up

to peep, to celebrate the spring

and sacrifice their flesh

that you may eat and drink

to make love

and multiply before you leave
