Winter Fever

The sky: cold, flat
Gray as concrete.
Below it: the freezing beach,
Near hard as ice,
The winter ocean,
Sleeping deeply.

Sky of snow clouds
Hanging low,
Frozen raindrops,
Ice crystals,
Geometric miracles,
Bound to fall
As snow

Bright winter light
Delicate as glass
Warm to the eye
Unbroken by the cold

Icy bright
Winter light
Sunshine
Beaming
Clear as crystal
White as snow
Fresh fallen

Winter weather
wears you out.
Dark clouds burden you
Like doubt,
Disturbing sleep.
The cold rain is coming.
If you’re a bird,
fly south.

Beach Fever keeps you warm.
Specially in the cold wind.
It’s the fever to be lazy,
And or in love,
Always lying in the sun
Not wearing much for clothes.

Winter is a thief
It steals the world outside
The cold imprisons those
Impatient for summer
A fantasy of heat arrives,
A warm sunrise,
Like a painkiller.
