Green Man in Spring
(Time Steps)

He rises clarted with dark earth of the old cold year,
hawthorns part for the green man in the wood,
green flush on ancient oak unfurls for him
as he is reborn primitive and lewd,
writhing to disgorge foliage
from his roaring mouth.
Roused from his dreams of playful days,
his sensual months of carnal sighs,
driven unseen by rising sap, raw rebirth,
solitary renewal in a hidden glade
until he mellows to rearrange the leaves
rakishly round his emboldened head.
Deep in the myths of old he lives
a callow puck again he thrives.
