tired again
though winter’s rest is over
sun dried chill blows
through a honeysuckle covered
briar patch
Respite cut short
by an early drought
balmy aroma settles sluggishly
among prickles and poison ivy
like artificially flavored syrup
on bleached, deep fried bread
stripped of nutritional purpose
sweet intoxication deteriorates
I don't know what happened to our April showers here in Texas. It's been over a month since we've seen rain, which is unusual for Houston.
