the End of March

Hanging out the top
Of the car's window:

Child-locked
Against us,

Half-way down
Half closed.

This too-cold month
Fully screened

Our receiving
A vital dose

Of sustenance that
Winter can't give us.

All of it
Is disgruntled

About not getting
Anything for Easter

But for what
It bought itself.

Drive way gravel
Still frozen

All of them
Alone together.
