poetry

Punctuation. Pedantry.
It’s not a question but

a wall, impermeable
by design. The forecast

has been wrong all week;
I anticipate wrongness now

like expecting rain, the hail
that fell for hours, you

can tell it will by
the color of the sky,

or at least I thought
you can, that doubtful

gray superimposed
on blue. Hard rain

that doesn’t roll off,
the wind compels it,

impels it. And falling silent,
do I repel, or welcome it?

    Dear C, we are having our second snow day in a row here and it’s making me contemplative too. I predict cabin fever. Still I detect a little hope in your poem. x
