The Light Changes in August*

The light changes in February
Hope and change fill the spirit
Winter is nearly through

The light changes in August
Sloven habits of summer
Segue into obsessive compulsive nesting-ness

When the light changes
It comes generally after days
Of cloud cover so
When you again notice
The light has changed

A little off at first
Like Rachel Carson
Drinking from
A bottle of Fiji water
Something is new again
