February fool's day

The last month of winter

lasts three to four times as long

as the first month.

 

Don’t believe it

when the light hangs in the sky later

than reddened eyes,

 

as late as 6:30 or 7 despite

the whistling February wind

tearing clouds into ragged strips—

 

“Six more weeks,” they chant,

and the nights are each at least twice

as long as January was.

 

There are more days in February

than the rest of the year combined,

than icy glints in the styrofoam glitter snow.

 

Only a fool would wait until March

to spring onto the icy sun and kick

it open to get the fire started again.
