A SALUTARY SPRING
PIECE UNIQUE MASSIMO DE CARLOMARCH 14 2026
Press Release:
A Salutary Spring
Gliding through the verdant
mess of tangled beauty,
the limb of time refuses
The vase precedes the compost
With the bedroom door cracked,
two horned owls call out in the blackness
discussing, considering, offering
The halftime show on the tv
echoes down the hall
As the wave-like din of a party rises and falls
God bless America(s)!
The present, unaware
of its solidarity with yes and no
attempts to sketch evolution.
Dormant seeds
already shedding their introversion,
stretch spellbound, towards conviction.
A dry crunch of a sycamore leaf
and the dog’s face presses into the screen.
Somewhere between restless and lazy
I too breathe in the smell of the damp
warm brick and night blooming jasmine
Mimicking, learning
She devoutly believes
In the infinitude of beauty
Spring is no sleep walker
