For Maia

The window's closed,

but I hear birds. Maybe

they're discussing Spring.

It's cold in the house.
I open the windows anyway 

to smell Spring.

California Bluebirds

They say

There aren't really Bluebirds 
in California.
We have Scrub Jays, but they still mean
Spring. And I just saw one.
