The Curse of February

in an Amphion poem.

** Image ID #2031676 Unavailable **

The curse of February hoar:
cars trapped in ice
by winter's vise,
with spirits frozen to the core
as cold winds blow
and drift the snow.

My psyche is becoming numb
within the grip
of winter's nip.

I cannot wait for spring to come.
