Like *That
the start of winter
she rubs her eyes
the start of spring

late winter –
the sun trying to burn
my nose and ears

winter drive –
a pedestrian walks
to the beat

winter snap –
geese outside freezing
their asses off
——

winter air –
one hand in the shower
checking for heat
——

winter wind
whistle
and pop
——

not yet spring –
on the sidewalk a box
of free lemons
——

on the floor –
two bougainvillea petals
brought in by the cat

long nights –
unassured and uneasy
we rest
——

dry leaves –
I glimpse some old guy
in the glass
