The Weather Channel (Free verse) by jessicazee
I heard all four seasons will come here tomorrow,
maybe all at once like
hot chairs and floors, mosquitoes
and terrycloth coverups, baggy
maple-syruped candlelight bowling,
fingerless gloves, a turtle in a dishpan,
a snowdrop poking up like a plastic grocery bag,
before the lilacs hide me again from the neighbors'
perfect compost heap, a sexy sweet sweat,
a late harvest flystrip
serrated knives and four-wheel-drive.
I hope it doesn't come all at once.
