Another Spring

Another Spring

Ice-melted water trickles down
the rainspout, sound of spring.
The worn-out snow dwindles quietly,
retreating from its once occupied ground.
Leaves of last autumn lay flattened,
like smashed shingles from collapsed houses,
layered, clinging to the earth,
reminding me once again of
tsunami-stricken Fukushima.

the rain spout or waterspout?

giving away its once occupied ground. 更像是想說giving up its once occupied ground.
give sth away是指贈送，分發。

最後兩行顯露，I am sad可以不必說出來。

谢谢戴玨。

rainspout and waterspout, both will do, I think.

我以为 give away 有放弃的意思。 如果不准确，我可以考虑 retreat.

最后是直白了。
