maples wait in the deepest cold to trickle
currents of obligation, from that which runs on
all others abide the mechanics of flow
once started in prime movement, still races to the sea
the side hill spring spills into
cascade, spate, and rush all from that which runs on
flux and wane, catalyst of consequent
fixed in the solution’s mix, merged element bound,
unfrozen, unyielding, loved
you
Happy Valentine's Day
Keep a tight line,
Steve Therrien
