I hate spring

April, you're the cruelest:
you flirt your frills at us

your daffodils, your narcissus,
your tulips. You sweet lipped

sass. We've had enough of
you, sprinkling your glitter

threefully, gleefully,
our eyeballs itch with it

you giggle at our sneezing, you
slip breezes at us sweetly

as if we'd smile through our misery.
You tease. Too fecund

floribundant. Spring is
tyranny. We itch and weep

admire your ruffled twirls.
We've had enough of  this

soft torture, this lovelines.
Of all the spring months, April is
the springiest.
