it’s chilly again
this morning
we had our peek into what
the rest of next season will look like
i could even feel my mood
shifting
upwards
and now it’s cold once more
the dreary, winter sky
the brisk winter air
that slices your face if you don’t cover yourself well
and the hopelessness that accompanies it all
[i wish i could enjoy
anything
about winter
but my soul was made for
anything
but]
to take the train
or to try and drive
and how early do i
need to make this
decision?
[i’ve been deleting videos off my phone
so i can
download an app if needbe
but i
am so stressed
by new experiences
but also
also
also
i love them
so…
how dare my own psyche
be
this damn way]
the coffee
is spicy
today
[and by spicy
i mean strong
pretty
darn
strong]
and we actually went out
last night
[though not to “night life”
but to a show
an important show
a beautiful show]
and spoke
with friends old and new
afterwards
it was lovely
but now it’s morning
and i have things i have to do
[and kip has sleep
they never
get]
so i’m drinking this
spicy/strong coffee
to try to just get up and go and do
[and it just started snowing
i hate the cold, but
it’s beautiful]
february has already lasted
a hundred years
when will this longest short month
be over?
look at it snow
look at it snow
the frozen, wet wet droplets, careening down to the ground
with all their friends, with all their friends,
coating our new york city
with a wintry wonderland mix of
wet and beauty
white and sludgy
and making me feel like
i’m almost ready
for the rest of this season
[but only if it’s going to be
this
gorgeous]
am i,
for the first time in my
entire
entire
life,
looking forward to the
cooler weather
?
March has come in
like the lion it is —
bringing one day of relief,
and then an evening of terror,
followed by a morning
where, once again, it hurts to open my eyes
outside
let’s hope it does
go out like
a lamb
the house plants shine a little greener
against the dreary outside sky
in the winter months
it has been wisconsin cold outside
not just “cold like wisconsin”
but “cold even for wisconsin”
and i do not
like it
[at least the respite
is in view, even if it’s not the ending to winter
just yet]
Cold
like Wisconsin was all winter
Cold
the opposite of what’s happening in LA, apparently, with their literal
red
hot
fires
Cold
the temperature outside is below freezing
and the “feels like” temperature is in the
single digits
Cold
but we have a house
and food
and warm warm booties
Cold
but this is only one day
in one week
in one month of one winter
and the days are already getting longer
Cold
and tomorrow may be
Cold
as well, but we’ll survive the
Cold
we will
we will.
