Thawing
Frozen for months
A brown duff lake now pools
Where snow once smothered the back yard
Spring water
* * *
Slopwork
of blue denim jeans
and flannel shirts; old clothes
for slogging through March's muck of
old snow.
* * *
Charging
Through cold wet mud
The dogs bark at strangers
Orange bellied worm seekers churp
Cheer up!

The slopwork seems like a farmer facing his workday in the mud he has to walk thru to get to the barn.
"orange bellied worm seeker" --The first time I read the descripion of a "Bird"!
--I also have seen birds alight on our birdhouse. Yeah!
