A poem a day in April from Rutgers English PhD students and friends.

April Is

the moodiest month
not cruel but volatile
just wait, her smile
will flash up again
like bones on the
surface of the sea
& you'll forget
the soaked march
to the bay turn
away turn away
to a warm house
with wine & cobbler
down the way
& though they
wouldn't know you
stoned-wet or
stone-dry
they'll open the door
& wave you inside
