Missing my cousins
who just left for Florida.
Summer is over.

A green glass bowl glows
on the pink shelf where the low
morning sun’s rays hit.

Guilt follows me to
Florida when looking at
home’s wind chill numbers.

Heron caught dinner
then took hours swallowing
the 15-inch fish.

Loblolly pine with
lovely Spanish moss grow near
the edge of the swamp.

As it warms, I watch
the red-bellied cooters line
up along the log.

A terrible cold
came upon me like a rain-
storm in the tropics.

Went birding this morning —
limpkins, spoonbills, and ibis, —
Circle-B Bar Ranch.

Day of rain ahead.
Visible humidity
in warm Florida.

I’m in warm weather–
no gray, no snow, no wee drifts–
hooray, Florida.
