spring equinox

[Unwilling]

spring equinox

off the fragile
branches, the
green residue sunders
and drops onto the
ground; it falls in slabs,
hitting the sweaty
grains once dead.

i peel the extraneous
muck with my gloves,
until the vines are naked;
bathed of the crusty
caterpillars, raisinlike
larvae, and liquid metals.
