less of this

less wind
would be nice.
less cold.
less snow
and ice would
be fine. less
clothing on
our bones.
if this winter
went away,
and stayed just
another week
or so, that
would suffice.
or we could
board a plane
and take our
pale winter
bodies to some
island, where
coconuts grow,
and monkeys swing
from trees,
a tropical
paradise. let's
go, but you
decide, and
quickly. my
bags are packed
and waiting.
