End of Winter


Back home, it’s called “ice out,”

that exact moment, exact and recorded,

when the ice has melted, melted and gone

from the lake, "out," the last sheet of ice

giving way to rising temperatures,

shrinking to give up form and substance

to water, becoming lake itself, transformed,

a small crystal succumbing, contributing itself,

signaling, officially, the end of winter.
