into our long coats

it's another march day,
and yet

it's almost may,
well into spring, on the doorstep

of summer.
we tie on our boots,

find a sweater,
a long coat,

we button to the top
and head out into a grey
wind

full of rain,
full of what feels like sorrow

and despair.
is it our imagination

can this be now and forever
more,

has the world, once
sweet and ripe,
gone sour?
