Winter Monotony
by
Katherine Tildes
Standing at the edge of the steps
staring out across the green
Do I want to go back there?
No, it's too dark
Artificial light does not satisfy
not the same effect as
the brilliant orb in the sky
that sheds thousands of rays upon us
Walking back along the paths
caring not for the melting snow
stepping into puddles as big as me
Turn around
absorb the warmth
feel it flash through me
sinking into every crevice
every nook that has been left unsatisfied
The winter chill is passing
Spring can't be too far away
Cabin fever has taken over
seeped into my brain
made me slightly insane
I long for the summer
the release from cold
the monotony of inside
