Sickly Spring

This is a strange season, where weather makes odd moves from winter through spring and summer.


Warm then cold, wet then dry.

Still then windy.

The early chill, held back spring a little so that when it arrived the floral world had to squeeze all its seasonal activity into a shorter space than usual.

Sickly Spring

Sickly Spring
Postulating blossom on every green surface
Hypertrophic torrents of flowers
Weighing down branches

Wind whipped pollen invading
Every human orifice
Attempting sexual union
With the soft membranes
Of my eyes
Of my nose
My mouth

Impossible congress
That breeds only
Weeping.
