Flora and Pomona preparing for spring! (For bff Proserpina to finally visit?)
sweet flora is impatient,
dandelions dotting half-dead lawns.
gentle pomona reminds her
of the killing frost and the harsh winds.
flora is always first, always in a rush,
fragrant flowers before ripe fruits,
but the maiden spring will soon be joining them,
and pomona coaxes a few buds out of sleepy branches.
they rush to greet her as she emerges,
buds unfurling to leaves,
flowers bursting forth to follow her,
to watch her rise like the sun
