pre-season practice

before it’s official
       it’s been official
sun
now
but temperatures in teens and singly
and snow on
snow

Wednesday with the solstice Sunday
light now
       warmth really
to clean off our cars and such
streets and sidewalks
and
now we’re had rehearsal

practice of real winter
calendared
for
when she comes
       daughter of mother Earth
       or choose another
       folklore
