Winter: where art thou?

birds

It is Winter,

but there is no cold wind
to make me tremble.

My jacket is in the closet,
a prisoner
awaiting release

My boots are in the hallway,
soldiers in first position
ready for war

My hat sits on the coatrack
bent toward me
bowing, hoping to be picked

What am I to do?
I’m dressed in summer clothes,
my favorite season
does not retreat
I shall command it to leave
it is not my birthday month yet.

We’re only half way
'til a mid-century feast.
