I Do Not Like Mondays

Rather a balmy day out there,
Today,
Certainly not bad for
The dead of winter.

It feels like life creeping back
Seeping back
Into the veins.

I stick my hand
Right on the roof of my car
As I drive along.

The car says it’s
57 degrees and
For January thirteenth that’s
Not too shabby.

Yes, there are clouds and
Yes, there’s a little
Rain and wind coming,
On and off.
The sunlight might not last that long.

But now,
In this moment,
In this second,
When there’s sun and warmth —
Rays blasting, full spectrum showing,
Eyes opening,

It just feels
So right.
