Winter Coat

Today I opened a box of winter coats
And although it's almost unbearably hot
I put the plaid one on
I thought about giving it away
As I stare a strange hot summer in the face
But I can't quite turn that page
It's been only two months 
Since I stood beneath slow falling snow
And I'm just not ready to let go.

Phantom Limb

Sometimes 
I am surprised when
I catch my thumb searching
Through a different time
For someone else's wedding ring.
