I was sick


of Jack Frost spitting in my face, and sculpting white dunes


of gray clouds blocking my sun, and
pitching fastball shadows in the fields.
I wanted to climb he branches
of the Sycamore tree, and take those
clouds in my fists
and pull them apart
like strands of Christmas lights
in January.

Syracuse, New York, has the worst weather and this piece was kind of spurned from that ...that distaste for snowy and slushy days.
