Another Winter

I survive another winter,

frozen hours of white-outs,

then blinding sun.

Today an aerial traffic jam

of geese honk

promises of green.

Today the tulips

poke their heads up,

daring more snow.

Today silly ideas romp outside

in shorts, throw themselves

against my window.

It’s 28 degrees outside,

and I survive another winter.
