#2,666 Mid-April & hail

Mid-April & hail showers
pin me in my place & I’ll
recall ardour to escape –
barefoot & up-rooted as
sunlight goes overboard
& burns – as a kiss melts
on my skin in a wet grin
[by love’s contouring] – I
miss calefaction & other
auld distractions – will a
heatwave return? This a
complaint I’ll oft repeat
until keenly met re-runs
of summer embrace me
