Spring is undoubtedly the most anticipated of seasons, heralded by landscapes awash in color and new

life. But just as spring must eventually relent to summer, the season’s birth—March 20 this year—is coincident with winter’s passing. New Times celebrated this alliance of birth and death, joy and sorrow by inviting local artists to render their own impression of the changing of seasons. In poems, photographs, sculptures, and paintings, they explored the theme The Death of Winter.

Steve Smith explored winter as a period of hibernation that draws to an end when the birds of spring issue a call to escape interior confines. For Michael McLaughlin that meant painting a word portrait of a mother in the winter of her

life seeking the hope of renewal. For Ric Riva, the death of winter meant Tiger Woods’ downfall. Artists explored death literally, the attendant grief, symbols, and meaning. And they captured the natural beauty of the new season.

In addition to viewing these works in the paper, selected pieces from the Death of Winter series are on display at Linnaea’s Café March 29 through the end of April. An artists’ reception takes place Friday, April 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. during Art After Dark.

Arts Editor Ashley Schwellenbach marks the onset of spring with the consumption of Cadbury eggs. Send peeps to [email protected].

Pointed—That Beam of LightThat beam of light upon your facereveals the blush of summer gone from it.And now, treatment for a reflective era:

Evening.She creeps over the treesand valleys on multiple legsof brittle iron poles.

An expanding barracksnot flutteringbut oozing in mile-high waftsand we are pointed toward herhurtling into the East.

Emerging evening;a cold blanket with rusted edges, replacing daylightwith a fickle promise of dreams.

Instead,she fills the sleeping gulfwith ideas of living actsnever committed, never actualized,hardly remembered.

Finally alone,this is the river we speak to—Grey, broad, shallow, leafless, birds leaving it,and bridged.An expanse best fled from.A kept secret. A mute response.

And then abovesirens spiral around it.Just beyond the peripherylies your rock island,a glowing carnelian outpost.The final gateway into spring.

Goodbye to winter The cold of winter is

passing us byA glimmer of sunlight

brightens the sky.A feeling of warmth will

comfort our minds.We covet the days

when the cold is behind

The wind and the rain, it will come and then go

The flowers will thrive, and with beauty they’ll grow.

Never we’ll fear Old Man Winter’s scorn

Knowing again that spring will be born.

So good-bye to winter, the good and the bad

And hello to springtime, no time to be sad.

It came and it went, leaving behind

A world full of wonder, and beauty sublime.

BY MARLENE MCQUEEN

Rooted in Time

Roots twist through darkCrannies and blemished soil;Carry doubts and shadowsstronger than concreteof those born before me.

I plant a winter gardenfilled with seeds and trust ona rocky hillside beneathgolden stars. Their memoryloses color as I lose

my footing, feel trappedby chill and liquid earth.Just as a child comes to life,these seeds awaken to sounds,dance past the roots of my fears

and explode into springtimemulch—birth the liliesand yellow roses, savormorning dew—while I dreamwith a newborn’s knowing.

Awake I have traced the curve of life with my fingertips Laying in this room, Absorbed by the blue lampshade

I take a breath of morning, my body as still as the light A siren between the sheets, a siphon All of my desires heaving beneath your weight A handicapped muse, mapping the constellations

From here I navigate: north by ceiling stars, Across the wide planes and mountains of your body I have been baptized in this river bed My little universe overflowing With bursting comets and hallelujahs

Resounding Silence It startedlike the acoustic softness of a Simon and Garfunkel ballad one 7am Sunday in mid-March,winter’s last gasp before seasonal CPR resuscitated spring.Downpour of engorged flakes silently settles like sifted flour… a final rest on rooftops, draped over treetops, shrouding the ground.Then a family,friendly-fire victims too long fox-holed in their own fortresses,arouses from slumber like an inter-rupted hibernation and wanders through frozen wonder-land,huddled in bathrobes while watching snowy chrysaliseslacewinging magic over landscape like unleashed butterflies,hearing Nature gently coaxing a love song from numb heartstrings,feeling once frigid frowns stubbornly thawing,smiles beginning to gather in drifts amid giggles and sideglances.Will this miraculous interlude bring them a temporary moratorium, unilateral withdrawal, or unconditional ceasefirebefore the last chord resounds in silence?

BY MICHAEL ZUNIGA

I would have taken a cleaver I asked the mother of a young manwho’d blown himself upwhat she would have done

if she’d known what her son was planning to do.

I would have taken a cleaver, cut open my heartand stuffed him deep inside.

she said.

Then I would have sewn it up tightto keep him safe.
