_ Poet Peter Carroll reminds us why we celebrate the arrival of
spring. _

, Jeannette Ferrary

 

Days of mist complete the season.
I move the clock ahead one hour
and find myself in a state of grace
that knows no freeze.

All winter, nothing important has died.

Hours before the equinox,
not a leaf whispers. Even unruly
ravens are at peace. The world waits
for the axis to turn.

With spring comes responsibility,
an impulse to affirm, to seed
our little clump, to leave
something of us behind.

_Peter Neil Carroll, poet, activist and historian, died last year
after a short illness at the age of 80. He was one of the key
individuals involved in founding the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives,
and also the long-time poetry moderator at Portside. From The Truth
Lies on Earth: A Year by Dark, by Bright from Turning Point Books._
