March by Leonard M HawkesYet another March,
And again we'll wander in the dark
Down Watery Lane to "take coup"
On old Bloom--
The air will be wet and tense
With impending storm;
Nervously, the wind will whip
The cottonwoods along Box Elder Creek;
The rising water will sing of snow melt
On Black Pine, in Devil's Gate--south of Mantua,
And I will be with you:
Lost again in the oldest of forbidden loves--
Now wondering still (after so, so many years)
If or what it ever may have meant
To you.
