Spring, and All that de(con)struction

On the road to our meeting,
this day leaves a wake,
and much waste, since
the calendar struck one.

Although there’s money
in the manufacture of model
yesterdays and perfumes,
pictures, statues, and poems –

Take care not to confuse
the past you wish had been
with what is known only
to the presently entombed.
