The Thaw

Today there was a thaw.

For a few sweet hours

I could smell

grass

dirt

wet dog

I could hear

slushy puddles

squishy mud

rain drops

I could feel

a not-so-cold breeze

dry concrete under my feet

spring around the corner

And it made me think of this:

And it was good.

And then it made me think of this:

And it was even better.
