Hot Ice

I miss October summers and April winters,
The touch of a soul against mine.
I miss July downpours and December heatwaves,
The spirit holding me as I cry.

I miss underground gardens and overhead basements,
The whisper of electricity along the line. 
I miss delicate roses and prickling buttercup,
The ache of my mind asking why.
