thawing pains

the day's a disaster though
its song summons laughter
rolling like water over sun 
blinking on/off like a halo

snowy realms are escaping
vulnerable with empathy
whole worlds liquefying 
like tears into spring mud

Scout hands his paw to me
warm as a steady blessing
while I lie to my mother:
saying everything's alright
