February Musings

Image by Alexey Kljatov 

I.  Sleepless night.

Bullets of rain thundered on the awnings and roof  

washed away a foot of snow that fell the day before. 

Bipolar weather.

***

II. A dusting turned to heaps,

the heaps to sad ribbons along wet streets.

Is this the start of Spring

or just another teaser?

***

III. Twenty-seven to forty-nine degrees

within twenty-four hours.

Sparrow friends left my awning

for shelter warmer than cold metal.

***

IV. Awoke to a fog thick and still

like looking through a shroud of muslin

muting colors to gray scale.

Ghostly beauty.

***

V. Bands of gray slowly give way to blue

as the morning becomes afternoon.

Will there be red sky tonight

and a delightful tomorrow?
