Croak

Timeless as water.
Frogs and
their ambitions.

Incessant. Continual.
Primordial.
Croaking
their reckoning across water.

Rusty. Exuberant.
A sound as determined
as steel-tip boots. 

March. April. May.
Croaked and soaked.
A spread of silky water.

It fills ones
ears with frogs and spawn,
and spring’s arrival.
