The ides of march.

A resolute and solemn march. 
Winters bony fingers pinch my skin,
Slap my cheeks, flick my ears. 
The coiled spring desperately waits, holding back it’s potential,
A pregnant pause. 
Spring is an embrace, a kindness. 
Eager. 
Beleaguered cupped hands receive meagreness for half the year. 
Daffodils herald new beginnings, 
But more importantly the death of old things. 
In service of new growth, a brighter day. 
The violent murder of a dictator. 
Et tu, Brute?
