Storm is rolling through
Waiting for the peaceful eye
To sneak in a walk

⛈☁️⛅️☀️⛅️☁️⛈

Cold spring continues
Burning oil to stay warm
Grateful for wool socks

Putting out the trash
Branches sway in twilight wind
I’m a boy again

Cold rain is falling
The sunrise will be obscured
Empty the dishes

What do days matter
Animals mark the seasons
Always in present

The Ides of April
Tax submission optional
Death still required

Alone together
Crewing our little lifeboat
Bobbing like a cork

Wake with a shudder
Drenching rain and howling wind
Spring yawns with thunder

Waking from a nap
The late afternoon lulls by
Becoming a cat
