The days are getting longer, harder
to lean into. There's no turning back
now the clocks of an hour, for a few
more days. Declan says that Spring
begins from the top down as trees
drive extra sugar to their roots to
form the buds which will make leaf.
He says it's jonquils first. I argue
the book says in Zone 8, it's crocus.
He laughs and says we're both wrong:
The real first sign is the sound of weed
eaters and girls uptown wearing shorts.

I may be wrong but doesn’t sap flow up from the roots and not down from the branches?
Those weed eaters are a dead give away, enjoyed.
