January’s Greys

The sullen morning light,
the cloudy afternoons,
the grey-whites of salted roads
and dirty snow piles. 

The holiday lights removed,
the newscaster’s COVID numbers,
fogged glasses above serious masks,
and black-coated distancing. 

I huddle indoors remembering
summer’s colours and pre-COVID times,
I am grateful for hope
and my flowering window plants.
