In the distance
From my street
I can see snow
On the mountains
It was a hundred degrees today
I think of creatures
In their dens
In their trees
The hummingbirds
At the feeder.
Then you have to wonder about the Vampires under the floorboards drying up only to be found later by someone like me because my brother Aaron said I’m the best at finding them. I remind him that we’re not like them. Then he smiles at me with a flash of fang, and I wonder why I ever helped him in the first place.
