Spring Swerve [Free Verse]

Photograph taken at Jvari Pass in the Republic of Georgia as a rain cloud works up the valley. The previous day, it had snowed. 
Spring can swerve.

White patches,
   holdouts from yesterday's snow, 
      are melted by today's rains. 

Buds no sooner form
   than are encased in ice.

No self-respecting Summer
   day could bring snow.

Winter won't hatch
   a butterfly.

Autumn can't turn
   a red leaf back to green.

But Spring can swerve.
