A Sure Sign of Spring

Just like a dream
Breaking through
From another realm
The first stalk of asparagus 
Emerges from its bed
With no thought of
Turning back now

If not now when
I hear it now and again and
See it everywhere around me
In the garden growing
As the present perseverates
Into an extended poem

Written in accordance
With a grammar that
Mutates each time you
Turn a corner or enter
A new phase of the song
