The warm sun today makes it seem Impossible
That just yesterday the skies were a torrent of Ice
And Flurries
Today it smells of Earth letting Winter steam out
Of Her filthy pores.
And sounds of birds filling ears with twitters and tweets
Spring is lifting her skirts just above the knee with
A coyly 'shy' smile. She's a tease, she knows and
Enjoys it.
The solid blue sky, matte, not glossy
Is cloudless construction paper
Hanging above our heads.
Spring plays games, blowing icy-cool breezes
Razor sharp, right through sweaters and jeans
Careless and Carefree.
Summer puts out.
Scortching with affection and hot breath
On the back of the neck.
Nails along the spine, tugged hair
Bruises and Hickeys
Summer is a bit of a whore.
Hot and Ginger and Drunk
With punch-lust and
A-picnic-blanket-is-perfectly-good-enough
Winter is the crone, the bitch
The frigid sexless elder
Dried up and sapless
She was whipping all our backs
Yesterday morning.
But now Spring is here to lick our wounds
With a raspberry tongue and
Seeds stuck in girl-next-door teeth.
