today’s emotions
unpredictable like the weather

snowflakes dance
amongst a stream of headlights
coming to rest on
last year’s hydrangeas

the crisp damp morning
defies a buoyant mood
and mocks next week’s forecast

spring is meant to
rid our eyes of bleak landscapes
that have captured our imagination
throughout a dirty winter

emotionally fatigued
deliriously disappointed
