November Dawns

it should be darker, warmer, slower
it should be spring rain falling not fall
it should be the sound of leaves
brushing the shingles, not hail
thundering down

your arms should be around me
holding me safe from the storm
as we snuggle deeper together
into the soft cotton
under the eider

winter comes on unrelenting
and spring is a memory
and a dream yet to be born
and I miss you
on cold mornings
like this
