Working on it Late

Finally the grass grows long,
The cornices need repair,
The old goat drew her last breath 
At the edge of spring,
And too many four-leggeds
Died hard beginning
On some high plains' 
Pastures somewhere, then
All the way across 
The northern, as
Brutal winter extracted
Its toll.

Here, nurturing 
The lessons of the 
Last few months,
I've given up
Almost all that isolation fosters,
Though I've been
Cherishing the
Shoots, and 
Looking for
Survivors.
