April's brilliant light
Deceives him every year
He confuses light with warmth
Forgetting what he knew
     365 days ago.

Not only light deceives
Nature too ignores temperature
Birds chirp at first light
Frost on the deck and cars
     Just two days ago.

Dress by season is the rule
The stores are showing little tops
He dons polo shirts and shivers
I was wearing wool
     Just yesterday.

How we imagine the will to power
Will bring success in the end
Like soldiers marching through
Bullets' spray
     And twisting April's arm.
to S.O., put on a sweater...

we've had snow on Memorial day...April is indeed the worst weather month. it taunts us with light and a little heat, then snatches it all back with snow and freezing rain.
