Poem 40

See Poem 37 for an explanation as to what's going on here.

from Fulton’s Guide to Unofficial Seasons

Impromptu spring,
better known as forgizia,
includes but is not limited to:
Grass still green in late August.
A bare pond bed alive
with plants hugging the muck
like fog.
Closing windows at night.
A sense of buds opening
even under old leaves.
Rain.
Four days of staying inside,
reading, without guilt
for not visiting the lake.
