Adrift in Cyberspace - Poem by Gerard Geiger

Winterage

Ash gray scalp slipping
steadily to baldness,
northeastern rains welling in
a pregnant April sky.

Winter reluctantly
leaving as an abrasive guest
who overstayed his welcome;
cold, wet, with bluster and bravado.

Attempting to maintain
his dignity, through recapturing the
joy of his youth, when soft snow
adorned his hurried movements.

Drizzle and wind,
cool rather than frigid.
Tepidly advancing towards
a limp shower crescendo.

Oddly barren and ungainly
in his loss of power,
not understanding the
nurturing paradigm of Spring.
