spare the salt shaker
oh lord
oh lord
this spring has been
over seasoned
and your children
long to play in color
instead of sulk
in monochrome ice
we tire of the flake
we tire of the freeze
oh lord please
put down the salt shaker
let us see the reason
for this season
to bud, to bloom
to break free from sleep
and awake from wintry horror
to hear the little birds cheep
and the crickets squeak
spare us the crunch of snow
under tires and feet
