The Inbetween Season

inbetween
winter and spring
little buds
of soft green
are scattered
across the ice-bitten ground
small piles
of soiled snow
rest
along the curb
teetering on the edge
of melting away
green patches of grass
are sewn together
with the damp brown
of winter
on the blanket
that is the front lawn
clouds roll in
leaving the sky
a saddend grey
rain drums
on the clear windows
watering the season
of inbetween
