Unlawful Precipitation

Two more blocks to the bus stop
The sidewalk, a patchwork of prints

Cheeks frozen —
Ice pellets sharpen their sting

Seasons should keep their promises
Sleet does not belong to spring

It should always be summer in the city. If I want winter, I’ll travel for it.

Thank you, Sammi!
