The Slow Demise of Winter


Dripping snowmelt
leaves icy stalactites
along the edge of the roof.

White glitter-strewn lawns
dissolve into mud
and standing water.

Overcast days finally
wear off the calendar
and leave sunny air behind.

Winter is still breathing heavy,
but the monitor
throbs a different tale.
