Two days left of
the first month
of this new year.
Third year of the 20s,
ninth year of my 20s.
Seems like too many years
since the pandemic started
and at least ten extra years
on to the last decade of my life.
It’s been a very cold and gloomy
start to the year. I’ve heard more
remarks about cold days than warm ones.
Unusual where I live, we normally see
more fluctuation in temperature this month
Cold and snow, we still have snow from last year
Sheets of ice on the dead grass unable to melt
The sun is out for too little time before
more snow falls on top of it once more.
Maybe we’ll see blue sky for more
than a day, Maybe next month
the iced over snow from
last year will get
to melt away.
