Hey Leslie, thanks for your faithful reading, finally something new for you:
Hibernate -
sleep is for the unconscious.
Germinate
deep in dark, moist soil.
Activate
only the necessary.
Rumi-nate
on the compost within.
Then, when the spring shovel
taps the cold ground,
Emerge
lime green and ready
for a new dance.
