Early Morning Half-Light
I had a dream and in it
A love and I
With a friend were talking about
Seasons
I was asked if I liked the snow
At the time we were surrounded
By it
Nonetheless, I said I liked snow
Fine
And my dear one said so, too
Clearly, our friend at the time
Only wanted to hear
About warmth
So I waxed
(maybe that’s a mansplain)
I like four quarters to the year
With time for everything
I’m sure I had that when a child
In Pittsburgh
Though it’s not like that
Now
Global warning having moved
The even year up north
Somewhere in New York
I looked at the one and thought,
Maybe we’ll go there
And then dreams do what they do
