Spring by Jenny Rowbory
Winter is all around but in this glade there is no ice or snow; warm sunlight bathes us. My hands are filled with soft white petals that I shower over you like confetti; they brush your cheeks as they fall, melting into your skin, coming to settle gently upon the grief, loss and panic. It makes the heavy feel light for a little while. Here it is safe to sing of the hope of Outdoor Hair. What if the seasons are stuck for good this time and Spring never comes. We were never promised it would. Our bodies are covered in the welts and bruises from the kicks and punches of that unmade promise, the one we wish existed: the guarantee of a certain Spring. We are The Winter People yet our hearts are made of snowdrops.
