Mountain Snow, Valley Rain

"I believe in miracles."
-The Ramones

Spring came here
for a day,
then went
away. The mornings
bring
pure, cold
light, the
afternoons a grey-
on-blue cloud show
in the foothills
and real
mountains beyond -
a dusting of snow
on the cacti
we'll never even
know about
on this side of
town. And deep
in last
night's dark I
wake you
from the couch -
in front of a TV
whispering to no
one
about late primary
returns,
upsets -
and you ask me if
it's
morning yet. Still
in a dream, you
tell me bad things
are happening but
offer
no
details.
When I come back
you are gone like
the early
spring. Today
you
remember
nothing.
