April 7: Opening Day

From yesterday, of course:
 
Robins crowd every field.
Red Sox on the radio--
Opening Day.

April 6: March Madness

Watching basketball
the cancer patient
aligns all his pill bottles.

April 5: Easter morning

Cardinal's loud whistle.
Kids in down jackets
race around for Easter eggs.

April 4: Hokusai

Visited the new Hokusai exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts * with my parents today. A Japanese artist who worked into the mid-1800s, Hokusai is probably best known for his wood block prints, including the famous "Great Wave off Kanagawa." We spent hours at the show and emerged blinking into the fresh air of early spring.
 
Even Prussian blue waterfalls
will fade in time--
this floating world.

April 3: Migration

Spring's floodgates open--
kettles of swirling vultures
soar over Route One.

Big April moon shining
Easter Bunny and reindeer
crowd the snowy lawn
