weather report

february is what happens when

i allow phases to build

when the bad week in december

is loosely excused for pms

like my hormones grew an ability

to wring themselves around my neck and

force me to stare at my ceiling fan

when all of november is forgotten

when september is a fading lifesaver

when there’s something (i swear there was something)

in between the two

sunlight burns in low 70’s and fades before i can reach it

and i wonder if the lack of rain means it is preparing

to cut me in one go
