The Waning Winter
Sinus pressure,
my barometer,
experiencing the sudden
rise and fall
of temperatures
and of my readiness
to meet this day.
Seasons do not give way
in peaceful succession.
The winds blow,
thunder claps,
then lightning charges
the moist air.
The Earth groans
and I groan,
as I absorb the weather
in my head,
my heart and my gut.
