I was tempted to shrug and say, just ‘cause.
Except now it’s a couple fleeting weeks later.
And in the interim, it rained.
Not enough to break the drought, it’s true.
But still.

Land looking.
Finally.
Running late, the prairie is just now greening.
It deals differently with drought than shaded woods.
Caught in gentle half-light, the forest floor ripples with life.
Along the demarcation line between prairie and wood
where sun/shade sharply comingle,
at last…
spring explodes.
