i went home this weekend.
until i got there i hadn't seen the right signs of spring.
on campus there are no spring peepers in the small pond by my shed. i can't listen to them while i fall asleep.
on campus i don't get woken up by birds. i can't hear them over the vents outside my window.
i hadn't seen how full the stream near my house was with snowmelt. i saw the buds on trees, but they weren't all around me.
i didn't know the frost heaves in my road; the mud didn't cover my boots. i need to sink into it all.
