winter wonderland
I think winter gets a bad rap
it gets blamed for the
days getting shorter
but that is autumn’s fault
every day of winter is
a little longer than the last
yes, it’s cold but I like the cold
it’s also chili and cornbread
build a fire bundle up
people ask if my depression
is worse in the winter
no spring is the hardest time
the equinox makes me edgy
somehow the daffodils seem
to knock me in the dirt
the weight of the world makes
resurrection hard to take
can I say that out loud
I’ll miss winter even though
I’m dying to plant vegetables
life is not explained by seasons
Peace,
Milton
