April in California

All spring has formed

the oldest winter sea

Yes, the white falling snow

The windless sea keeps tossing

& drifting in the sleepy tide,

& with the fluffy hour

muddles and dances

& shhings & fronds

of April in California

waiting for the end

of this fleeting

Existence

[END TRANSMISSION]
