Madness Returns, but It's Not the Same

This sort of April day inspires madness
Deep aquamarine sky, warm sun tentatively returns.
There’s a crimson tinge to the trees, but
No greenery yet. The tart breeze, its
Insistence, its playful presence, is not
Gentle, pushing our clothes against our backs. The
Season’s change is coming, nothing remains the same.
