Apricity

For he once witnessed the winter sun on the day of apricity
Psychrophilic creatures make their retreat to their subnivean brumation
Emerging pools on the ice-covered pond foretell the primaveral

Then, without warning, the gale strikes his face, shattering the sun’s affection
Sheets of frozen fluidity cache away the verdant landscape
May this apricity simply be a mirage of the imminent

We may choose to see hope in the form of the warmth of others
Only to realize that the problem was
                                                     Deeper
                                                               Than
                                                                      We
                                                                            Ever
                                                                                   Knew.
