early morning shadows
cast ominous opinions
throughout the mountains
and the caves of my mind
while sunless, cloudy skies
cool the Southern environment
to which I have grown accustomed,
like trees taking root in crevices,
unlikely to survive yet they do;
and when the sun appears,
I am ready for its heat and
all the controversy that it
brings to my doorsteps.
