Eyesight

It was May before my
attention came
to spring and
 
my word I said
to the southern slopes
I’ve
 
missed it, it
came and went before
I got right to see:
 
don’t worry, said the mountain,
try the later northern slopes
or if
 
you can climb, climb
into spring: but
said the mountain
 
it’s not that way
with all things, some
that go are gone
