Summer is golden
butterscotch, January
skim milk, thin weak pale.
A’s dream–a fairy
cottage in the woods–simply
too good to be real.
Forgotten summer
umbrella aged by winter’s
wig of heavy snow.
Carbs like clouds. When gone
clarity returns. Blue sky
thinking open mind.
Shivering at the
airport. Colder than O’Hare.
Turn back, refund flight.
Spiraling flakes, like
small hands opening wide, feel
their way down to earth.
Earthy smell of fresh
mud awakens winter-dulled
senses like coffee.
I type in a dim
dark room listening to surf.
There’s an app for that.
What naiad dances
in your pulsing, surging heart,
calling me to her?
Lulled by summer’s false
start, forty degrees reminds
us that April lies.
