Thaw

Blow through me wind
 As you blow through apple blossoms’€¦.
 Scatter me in shining petals over the passers-by’€¦.
 Joyously I reunite’€¦ sway and gather to myself’€¦.
 Sedately I walk by the dancing feet of children’€”
 Not knowing I too dance over the cobbled spring.
 O, but they laugh back at me,
 (Eyes like daisies smiling wide open),
 And we both look askance at the snowed-in people
 Thinking me one of them.
