Primavera
............. for Kate
Somehow it seems colder
roll on summer seems to have missed its mark
and even as clearest blue the sky is cosseting a chill
and so the temperature set itself against my will
How does the sun dim and falter
although still as bright
its warmth in the colours have a slate appeal
seemingly to long for the night
It is worse, one can fear to hear the birds monotone
their simple lacking of chirpy
disturbs me
with their irritant chatter to fill a space
this space reserved for someone
who isn’t here
It seems to have gotten cold
as if springs foot pump on the heartbeat of reviving
just isn’t working
and primavera for you I have waited all year
I toss and turn when the night is too long
and no promise is held in a good mornings lemon
curse those tiny digital clocks
with all their damnably overworked seconds
My eyes won’t focus
or at least seeing has become a wizard of hocus pocus
to be experienced in every vacant moment
somehow itinerant in my finger tips
to reach for a hand in its place
this palm a reserved space
for someone who isn’t there
What is this perturbation
of an otherwise idyllic season
and why should summer fall so short
of its heralded anticipation
somehow it seems to have gotten colder
and I remember just days ago
everything felt so much warmer
