a cloak of winter not hung up,
sun hides behind a cloudless sky
too far away to grasp and bring
it closer... a portrait of spring
yet to be unveiled, sitting in a
storage bin in some warehouse
south of Atlanta... fish swim
around in virtual aquariums as
viewers watch the screen, hoping
that something different will take
place while they wait for the postal
service to deliver, even though
they are not expecting mail...
cold swims with the fish in lines
not so parallel, searching for the
clothes already packed away in
cardboard boxes and stored beside
the dehumidifier to prevent mildew,
madness hugs the outer layers of
warmth as outside ventures are
minimized and hot beverages cook
on the gas stove - soon to be outlawed,
we cekebrate winter's passing with
cold spring weather that we know is
a precursor to a hot, humid summer.
