January 28

poetry

Unseasonable warmth,
a more agitated sunset,

or maybe it wasn’t–
anything can be anything, now.

Say it’s eighty out,
say it snowed,

say it’s for our good
and temporary

as if this
has never

happened before–
and I will say

that this sky is pink
and orange

as ripe citrus,
this breeze bitter

as pith, this wind
unsettled, this night

falling harder,
the way a fist does, or

a downpour, or
a spring-loaded door
